The Ruby-Throated Hummers have arrived ... and one of them, in particular .. seems to be getting back into the full swing of hummer-'hoodlum'-dom, too !! So far, I've spotted three of the royal beauties: two seem to be a mating pair, and one other feller - of which has jes gotta be a prior visitor here at the Roost!

Hee .. Something in his eye tells me, that he's no newbie to this holler .. by no means! As opposed to the other two .. being unsure just what me the ol coot are, sittin' out there on the porch .. in wait of some pitter ops to present themselves! The way he seems to run things .. and know where every thing is already. He make his rounds .. around the house to the back porch .. like he knows there's sposed to be a hummer feeder back there! But, we've not put any back there yet! Merely wanted to wait a bit, to see what these two feeders .. here on the front porch may pull in! .. lol ..

Mr. Ben Around .. seems to not give too much of a hoot about us on the porch. He does his fly at us routine, to see if he can run us off .. like he does the other two hummers! The lil dickens, I tell ya ...

Haven't been able to get all three of them in one shot, yet - but there's time. And plenty, of it ! ... hee ...

Anyway, here's a couply or more pitters of this years first hummer feeder visitors! ...
