I did spot the first hummingbird.  It was not in PA but in my friend’s yard.  I was visiting a friend in another state.  It briefly hovered over one of his two bushes of red flowers.  The bird immediately disappeared.  My wife did not see any hummingbirds in our yard. Usually by the end of April I see one. Today is the last day of the month. Still no hummingbird there.

My wife will see the first hummingbird of the season.  I am going away.  I am jealous.

Traditionally the hummingbird (???) have been spotted by the end of April.  I leave for a week in less than forty-eight hours so I am running out of time.

Every morning I look out the window at the hummingbird feeders and expect to see a hummingbird.  But I don’t.  I am leaving for a week vacation in less than a week and wonder if my wife will see one before me.  She is staying home.
