First of Year Birds Today

First thing I saw this morning when I checked the feeders was the Ruby-throated Hummingbird. They have been spotted in the area over the last week so it was only a matter of time before the diminuitive one showed up here.











Later, the Gray Catbird was seen lurking in the shrubs. Even though this is a summer resident in St. Louis, I generally only see it once in the Spring and then it must go somewhere else to breed. Maybe I should keep some fruit around to entice him to stay?
