The first Ruby Throated Hummingbirds have been reported in Canada over the past 3 days.

Birding takes my mind off stuff and it adds good life to a tuff life. It also helps me forget about my spine pain and stress.  Laugh, eat, be merry.  Anybody with extra $ may send me some as It will permit me to travel.

Apparently some hummingbirds feed on sap (from holes made by sapsuckers) before flowers are available. They also eat some insects.
