I STARTED TO SEE THE DARK FLASHES OF FAST FLIGHT OUTSIDE MY BEDROOM WINDOW ON THE 13TH OF THIS MONTH. THIS CONTINUED UP UNTIL TODAY, BUT I NEVER CAUGHT HERMAN AT THE FEEDER UNTIL TONIGHT WHEN HE FLEW IN TOOK 3 DROPS AND ZOOMED OFF. SO I AM PUTTING HIS OFFICIAL ARRIVAL TIME AS OF 4/17/2009 AT 7:00 P.M.

I WILL PUT IN SOME NATURES FIRST NECTAR TOMORROW AFTER I CLEAN THE FEEDER REAL GOOD AND KNOW HE HAS CLAIMED THE TERRITORY.

WHAT A MIRACLE, IT NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE ME HOW HE HAS RETURNED 6 YEARS IN A ROW.
