As Jayne Amico mentioned a while back, there was a report of a Ruby-throated Hummingbird from Montgomery, MA, in the Connecticut River valley, on 4/12, and now there is one from Bantam CT on 4/14. These early birds seem to be arriving along with this major nor'easter---maybe helped along by the high winds? So, strange as it may seem in the midst of this storm, I've now got my hum feeder out!

(The reports are from Lanny Chambers' website www.hummingbirds.net . As always, I'd appreciate any and all "first hummingbird" reports from CT. Just go to my website and click on the "report" link.)
