Ready for the last hummingbird
I saw a female ruby-throated hummingbird yesterday, and my gardening companion spotted another as we had lunch today (on the porch).
It's fairly late to see them; last year, it was Oct. 8 for us. And Bill Hilton, at Hilton Pond, reports that their last hummingbird sighting (monitored over a number of years) is Oct. 18.
But I'll leave up the feeders if there are any stragglers, and there are still coral honeysuckle flowers for them.

I love the coral honeysuckle -- it's a great plant. My gardening companion saw a hummingbird visiting one of our feeders this morning.
