We were just leaving to take our son and (future) daughter-in-law to the
airport at 4:15 p.m. today, when we noticed a male Ruby-throated
Hummingbird at our sugar water feeder. We put the feeder out only this
morning, in response to suggestions to do so on this and other list-servs.
Generally, we are unsuccessful at getting hummers to our feeders until the
southbound migration in late July into August, so we were very gratified.
Our house is in West Bethesda, inside the Beltway.
