FOY RUBY THROATED HUMMINGBIRD, male, at my feeder now. Besides 2 B. Orioles eating oranges impaled on small tree branches near deck, 2 G. Catbirds are eating grape jelly I had originally put out for the Orioles. Second year I have seen that.
While helping up & down Lansing Station Rd for our neighborhood clean up day, I heard a few B. Orioles, Rose Breasted Grosbeaks, & Black Throated Green Warblers singing. Saw/heard a pair of American Redstarts, the first female of that sp. I have seen here. I also saw a little Chipping Sparrow bathing vigorously in a water-filled small ditch by a driveway. Didn't have binocs along since they get in way of picking up & carrying junque, plus it was raining steadily, so didn't get to look at some other birds present in the gloom.
