First Hummer of 2025

[Steven B in PV]

I've had a feeder out since the first week of April, but had the first male Broad-tailed hummingbird yesterday at 7:30 a.m.  With 3" of fresh snow this morning, I poured warm water over the feeders to melt the snow off.  No hummer yet but I'm looking at a Band-tailed Pigeon on my tray feeder.  It's our native mountain pigeon.

I hope we get more snowfall like this without sub-freezing temps.
