The first hummingbird of the year

We heard a quiet buzz above our deck yesterday, looked up and saw a Rufous hummingbird hovering near our feeder. It was our first one of the year and one of the most welcome migratory birds that return to our backyard each year.

   Hummingbirds are so special, and a small return to “normal”, which I am cherishing as we go into lockdown.
