A hummingbird was reported yesterday in the Mary Ripley
Garden, between the A&I building and the Hirshhorn
Museum on the National Mall.  I saw it early this
morning (a buzzing dark form zooming off).  I put up the
hummingbird feeder (same place as last year, on the Mall
side of the garden, next to the A&I Building).  I have not been
able to spend any time to see if anything is coming to the
feeder.  More later, if there is more to tell.
