First-of-Year Hummer

I've had my hummingbird feeders up for about a week in anticipation of a cold, tired, hungry little bird-soul showing up.

And one did this morning.  My first-of-year Ruby-throated Hummingbird (Archilochus colubris)


He had his feathers all puffed up.  It is a chilly +8C/~47F


 I hope this is the first of many.  I don't get a lot of hummers, but usually have at least one nesting somewhere in the neighbourhood trees.
