First to be captured on "film", but not the first for the year. That happened 1 Jan 2018 outside our kitchen window, no camera in hand and "he" didn't return after we refilled the feeder, but sighting was verified by my wife.

We are easily entertained by hummers. We have a window feeder that we see all the time, however these last two weeks we have had ZERO hummers. It’s the time of the year that they are getting real food instead of fake energy drink. We still put out fresh food on the same days each week but no takers right now ... lots to feed on out there. - they WILL be back.
