Hi all,
We had our first black-chinned hummingbird (male) at our feeder this morning.
Previous FOY:
2014: April 27
2011: 5/7
2009: 5/3
(obviously we haven't been as diligent recording these guys!)
Bullock's orioles showed up on scheduleon 5/3 as did Lazuli bunting (5/3), poorwills and barn swallows (5/4). Our "friendly" bats returned to our house eaves en masse on 5/4 as well. Just hope they don't find their way INTO the house again this year!
