Also Grosbeak, Central Ohio I've had my hummingbird feeders up for over a month, but today was the first appearance of a Ruby-throated Hummingbird (female) this year. I was putting the feeders back out after filling, and she swooped down on the first one I put up as I walked away from it! Let the fun begin! Earlier today, I had a first-this-year Rose-breasted Grosbeak (male) appear at the feeders. Not bad for a cold day!
