Male Ruby-throated Hummer... female is coming but not as much as this fellow...
he's enjoying my Weeping Caragana...

 Love his colorful neck...

 Couldn't decide which one, so will post both... he is just too beautiful...or handsome, I mean...ha ha...

Mourning Doves...in my yard today...

Now you see me ...

 Now you don't...

The Ruby-throated Hummingbird...

made his appearance on the weekend, there is a female, and also another male, coming pretty regular.
I think they have a nest in my one lilac bush, have went there for the last few years...anyway.. always love to see them..

 Notice the tongue in this pic...

tomorrow is the Female's turn...

Another 'lifer' for me...

Had a great weekend, in Canada, it was our Victoria Day holiday, known as "May Run"...we were out at our camp finishing up our opening, so much to do, but so enjoyable.
I have not heard of anyone seeing the Eastern Bluebird, this far north, but it may be just me, I was pleasantly surprised to see this family yesterday.

A Red Winged Blackbird day..

In the last few days I have gotten a few shots of this fellow and his 'gal pal'..they were pretty reasonable with me, allowing me to get a few shots..
The Mrs. is a pretty bird in her own right...

 and he, of course, is a handsome lad too!!

 I love the wingspread on this one...

Another shot of Mr.and Mrs. Mallard ...

won't be too long before the babies start coming...

 Mrs. was quite vocal...
