Each morning, there is always one female Ruby-throated hummingbird that seems to be the first to arrive at the nectar feeders. Usually around the time the sun comes up, although a wee bit later each day, as August is 2/3rds over now. This hummer does not hover over the first perch each morning, but rather plunks itself down and sits until it has finished filling up for the first part of the day. It usually returns every 10 minutes or so for the next hour or so. In 2019, the last hummer left our garden and headed south on September 20. What tiny, intrepid survivors!
