Our first male Ruby Throated hummingbird of this spring appeared at the feeders today. From 3:30 p.m. until dusk at 7:20, he fed constantly among several feeders, including the fruit flies he was chasing down as they stirred in the mesh bag of banana peels and orange rinds. Between eating and drinking rounds, he’d just perch on the top of shepherd hooks, sometimes facing east or west, like he was staking out possible competition. He’s a bit too attached to all the feeders. I think I’ll be spreading them around the yard iin case other hummingbirds come around. Another fun season with the hummingbirds!
