They’ve Arrived!

Today is the day! The Baltimore Oriole and Ruby Throated Hummingbird have both returned for the summer.

It was the male oriole that was the first to be seen, but my son and I both think the first hummingbird we saw today was a female, which seems unusual. I’ve always read the males are the first to arrive to “claim” their territory and then the females arrive within a few days. Oh well, it’s fine by me LOL! I don’t care which one shows up first as long as they come back to my yard year after year!
