Hummingbird, Ruby-throated (FIRST)

Date: 04/24/2018

Number: 1

Our first male of the season! He was feeding from one of our feeders at 7:00 this morning, also inspecting blooming Redbud trees; arrived several days later than last year. Amazingly, he then flew to a holly tree and perched next to the same gray catbird from last year, who also just arrived this morning. Catbird mimics our voices and was calling out (to us? to the hummingbird?), so we know it's the same one. We wonder if Humm & Catbird somehow migrated north together, for at least part of the journey? By the end of last season we had several hummingbird families, so we're excited to see what happens next.
