I saw a male Ruby throat this morning!!

I was inside the house and he was feeding at the portersweed next to the window, but of course by the time I got outside with the camera he was gone.
But he will return, I'm sure!!
I will update with a photo, soon, I hope, although, we will be out of town from early tomorrow, for a couple of day to celebrate "Thanksgiving" with other Canadians here in Costa Rica, returning on Wed.

Congratulations on the first male RT. Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!

Hi Patricia

Congratulations on your first ruby-throated! It is interesting - as I sit and look out my kitchen window and still see two hummers chasing around - you have one outside yours...Hope you do get pics to share. In the meantime have a very Happy Thanksgiving!!

As Carol and Bob already stated CONGATULATIONS on your first Ruby Throated. I wonder if he is one that graced any of our gardens over that past few months???

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving too. What a wonderful way to celebrate!

Thanks, everyone.
It will be nice to have turkey tomorrow with the 'extended family' here.
I am surprised that the hummer has arrived nearly 2 weeks earlier than the one I first noticed last year on the 24th.
At the moment the lawn mower is making lots of noise and the hummers are keeping out of it's way, so I will keep an eye out for chasing going on.
