Photo by BarrytheBirderThe first Hummingbird of this year arrived at Pat Cromie's balcony, at the Delmanor Retirement Residence in Aurora, on Tuesday, May 28th. The last 'hummer', above, was seen on Tuesday, September 3rd of this year. That's a 94-day season for these jewels of the birding world, and they raised a batch of young 'hummers', before heading south. The males of this small flock headed back south during the first week of August, while females left a week later. But the new youngsters took a whole month to fatten up before heading south. God-speed wee feathered friends.
