Hummingbird, Ruby-throated (FIRST)

Number: 1

What a great Star Wars Day! I got a new Boba Fett helmet in the morning (first one since I outgrew the fiberglass one my Dad made me 40 years ago), and then I was treated to my first hummer sighting in the evening after an afternoon full of the Star Wars Marathon on TBS! It was a Male Ruby-throated Hummingbird at 7:51PM! He sat on one of my shepherd's hooks and then came to 3 out of the 4 little Vermillionaire Cigar Plants I'd purchased on Sunday. I'm thankful he's back! He's a welcome bit of joy and wonder and his flashing gorget is a beacon for brighter days to come! I hope everyone has a wonderful 2020 Hummbirding Season!

p.s. Thank you Journey North for continuing to have an annual Hummingbird Migration Map! It's exceptionally brilliant to not only see the hummers' northward spread, but to be able to read the stories associated with all those little dots on the map and share in the excitement they bring to the folks reporting them!
