Ok Glenda - I stood and stared out my window at the feeder for awhile since you saw one and you're not far from me. I only had to watch for a couple minutes and I saw one! Hope it sticks around. I have a few flowers blooming.

Me too! Not sure what it is cuz all I could make out was the white band around the neck. It visited my feeder 3 times. I'm going to have to relocate the feeder to a brighter area so I can get some pics or video this year. I just won the HD video camera from marlboro.

my wife told me she saw one yesterday . all i have seen are the ruby throated.

Glenda, this year you're 10 days later than me. On the other hand, I heard my first whipp-o-will this morning, they're late too. ( I know, I spelled it wrong, but it's too early to check spelling)

ceresone, we are three days later this year than last. I saw one again yesterday and a couple of black swallowtail butterflies.

Of course, the cabbage butterflies are visiting the cabbages!

I saw a female hummingbird yesterday and have been seeing a male once in awhile.

I have lots of those white cabbage butterflies in the summer. I know they're a garden pest but I think there must be something in the hayfield that the caterpillars munch on too because I see so many.

You made me curious about whip-poor-wills Ceresone. I'm going to listen to see if I hear any. It may not be woodsy enough here. I don't think I've ever seen one. This link says they're a nocturnal bird.

Here is a link that might be useful: Whip-poor-will

I planted a red buckeye (aesculus pavia) because it's supposed to attract hummingbirds. It might be that. Mine's young and hasn't bloomed yet. I expected it to this year but I think it would've by now if it was going to darnit.
