Ruby Throated HBs arrive in my backyard every August 13th. It never fails.

On their southward migration? I'm in New England and *see* them in the second week of April. Usually, they leave in September. I watch this map with eager anticipation of their arrival.

Not only are they beautiful to watch, but curious and intelligent. We've been fortunate to have them feed from our hands ... heart-stoppng! ;-)

Here's an insect catch ... and with the tongue extended. Great stuff.
