First Hummers today
My wife spotted the first Ruby-throated Hummingbirds of the season in our backyard today. She shrieked at me that I had only put up one feeder and it was empty! Bedlam ensued as I rushed to prepare nectar and raced around putting up the other nine feeders. In short order, all 10 feeders were filled and ready to host the hummers. There was a male and a female. I apologize for the poor quality photo, at the left. I waited for an hour to get a shot, then when the opportunity finally presented itself, I wasn't completely paying attention. I'll do better tomorrow. I did get some good shots of Red Admiral butterflies, though, while I was waiting. See below.
Please comment if you wish.

You take very beautiful photos Barry.
I will follow your blog, because my family and I live close by, so your posts relate to our backyard feeders too. I put out the hummingbird feeder, waiting and hoping.....
We have lots of birds, because we have a narrow ravine behind our backt=yard. So far we spotted at least 26 kinds of birds right around our yard. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and photographs.
