I haven't seen a hummingbird as yet, but it is good to know they are back and will keep an eye out for them. They certainly are feisty little birds and a joy to have around.

I saw my first Oriole last week, so they are also back. I believe they are a bit earlier than usual, as I don't believe they usually return until around mid May. I always have a couple who build their nest in a large maple tree in my back yard. They like to feast on caterpillars and don't seem to mind those prickly creatures.
