Hi Everyone, His morning, as I was changing the water in a bird bath at the side of the house, I noticed a flash of red at my side. A male Ruby-Throated Hummingbird, the first of the year, hovered inches from my hand for a few minutes, checking out the flow of water from the house and evidently deciding (quite correctly) that it was too strong to fly through. A great way to start the day!
