Bill and I saw a female ruby throated hummingbird today. )Maryland). It looked as if it was checking out the feeders for a nectar feeder. They are pretty smart about that. I have only seen about half a dozen hummingbirds in the yard, in the 23 years we've lived in this house. It's pretty shady right around here, not too many hummingbird flowers and no hummer feeders.

It brought my year's total to 27. I keep forgetting to keep track by month....
