    Tyler Bell and I had our first Ruby-throated Hummingbird (a male) at our feeder in St. Mary's County on Saturday, April 8. This is 3 days earlier than last year, which was our earliest arrival ever. 
    The hummer flew in and sat right down on the perch to feed. It is my contention that this behavior marks a returning hummingbird who knows the routine and setup, rather than one just passing through. Of course, the hummingbird declined comment...
