Number: 1

Did not expect him yet, but he found me. Record cold spring with late snows. Leaf out is just starting on south side. Daffodils, White Flowering Crab & Magnolia and a few south side dandelions are all that is blooming in town now. I have a geranium, Gardenmeister, Vermillionare in front by the one feeder I had out. Saw him at 6:30 pm. Watched for a couple of hours as he kept coming back to the feeder. He was back at dawn at the feeder again. Using Best 1 nectar and made it a little stronger. Will have to take annuals in tonight as we may have frost. Put out more feeders to let him know he is wanted.
