Appelbaum" Subject: New Yard Bird MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit We just had our first Ruby-Throated Hummingbird! In the morning, Alan saw it visiting one of the (neglected) red rose bushes that grow just outside our kitchen window, so we put out a hummingbird feeder. Just moments ago (around 5 PM) it returned, this time visiting the feeder and checking out our oblivious cat who was sleeping in the window sill. I know most of you probably have had hummers visit before, but this was our first and I'm so excited! :D Laura Appelbaum Colesville, MD ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
