With the sighting of a ruby-throated hummingbird today (10/11), we eclipsed our previous latest sighting date of an RTHB by one day (previous latest sighting date was 10/10 in 2013). We had 2 hummers yesterday evening but did not see 2 together today. So the 2nd one clearly left today. This hummer fed almost completely on insects and nectar from black-and-blue salvias, pink salvia and cigar flowers. Very little nectaring at feeders today. This juvenile male has been here several days and really put on weight. This evening he chased off a small warbler. Hysterical. The day was sunny with a high of 57° with an overnight local frost. Quitting time was 6:49 p.m. CDT. Keep your feeders up to the south!
