Migration Map for Ruby-throated Hummingbirds

For the first time, I saw a buffin head duck & American merganzer. Had a great lunch near the Essex river.

Been seeing a few of these guys since March (maybe 2 or 3 stragglers) in my neck of the wood -- the greater Houston area; saw a bunch more over the last few days when I was down in High Island, TX for Spring Migration bird watching marathon.

not here in MA, luckily. I know they can eat insects, but nothing floral or flying for them to eat as yet.

I haven't seen any here yet, but we put our feeders out today... just checked that map, and the first arrivals were spotted over 2 weeks ago, so our "regulars" should be here soon. I wonder if we get the same pair here each year?

Saw this guy yesterday for the first time this year. Was back again today at the feeder. : )
