Nothing that has not already been seen, but new for me for the year. Three Broad-winged Hawks (new) circling above my yard with two Osprey and a hummingbird zipped by my face while I was standing near my gazebo. I had not put out the feeder so I rushed to fill it and hung it out as soon as the sugar water cooled. Shortly after that a male Ruby-throated Hummingbird (new) was feeding at it. I also saw two Cattle Egrets (new) in a neighbor's yard. For those interested in butterflies and dragonflies in the last few days I have seen many Clouded/Orange Sulfurs, Henry's Elfins, Eastern Tiger Swallowtails, American Ladies, Falcate Orangetips, Spring Azures, anglewings, one unidentified duskywing and a Common Green Darner.
