A good friend, Bessie Reel, had a RT hummingbird at her backyard feeder today. She lives north of Dayton on Martindale Rd.--Delorme, p. 65, AB 5. The first one we've heard about in this area. Our feeders are out, and our fingers are crossed. Quick drives through Englewood Metroparks today yielded several northern parulas; blue-gray gnatcatchers; blue-winged teal; rough-winged, barn, and tree swallows; a solitary sandpiper still standing in the same spot??? and some of the 'usual' "stuff". Oh, well, they can't all be great days--maybe tomorrow.
