Just saw our 1st of Year Ruby-throated Hummingbird, a male. But it wasn’t spotted at the feeder, but rather feeding on Lungwort (pulmonaria) which is blooming. Last year, we saw our 1st on April 26. Besides the Lungwort, the Columbine, Red Buckeye and native Red Honeysuckle are just beginning to bloom. The Celandine Poppy, Rose Verbena and Jacob’s Ladder are also blooming.
I wonder if Larry knows whether their northward migration corresponds with any particular native plants beginning to bloom.
