This morning, out my study window, was perhaps the same hummingbird, visiting Carolina Jessamine flowers.
And we saw another one this evening.
There are certainly good nectar-producing plants (for hummingbirds) in flower now in our garden -- coral honeysuckle (Lonicera sempervirens), red buckeye (Aesculus pavia), columbine (Aquilegia canadensis) and crossvine (Bignonia capreolata).
The early arrivals don't always cross paths with these, but this year they have!
