They're Back!
Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds (Archilochus colubris), shuckin' and jivin' all around the three feeders placed strategically throughout the yard. There's been a lone scout for weeks but it looks like the whole posse is back now.

For some reason, the fall migration is always better attended around my house. These birds offer hours of entertainment for just a few cups of sugar water. And try as we might, we've never been able to come even close to their flight capabilities.
