Amazing instinct and timing...as usual

First 'hummer' arrives May 10 ... as predicted

Spring's first Ruby-throated Hummingbird arrived in the backyard yesterday, May 10th, as they usually do every year, for the last 10 years or so.   I was beginning to wonder because of the strange weather so far this spring.   Just minutes before the arrival of the 'hummer', two striking Rose-breasted Grosbeaks showed up at the feeders (see photo below).   If that wasn't enough, a short time later the first Pine Siskin of the spring showed up (bottom photo).   What with an Indigo Bunting and Northern Oriole earlier this week, it's been a colourful few days.
