Ruby-throated Hummingbird (Series)
October 5, 2023; she's still here!
"The ruby-throated hummingbird (Archilochus colubris) is a species of hummingbird that generally spends the winter in Central America, Mexico, and Florida, and migrates to Canada and other parts of Eastern North America for the summer to breed. It is the most common hummingbird in eastern North America, having population estimates of about 35 million in 2021." (Wikipedia)
I keep track annually of when the first RTHB arrives to our garden in the spring and leaves in the fall. Last year the first one arrived on May 3, 2022, and the last one present was on September 29, 2022.
