Very surprised to see a male hummer at a nectar feeder. I have had a female every morning for the past week, not always the same female, as they are passing through. Some of them are much pudgier than others. This is the first male I have seen in weeks. Also, seal carcass has washed up on the rocks in front of our house. A sub adult Bald eagle was on it, accompanied by a flock of Common Crows and raucous Blue jays. Not a bad birding morning with pouring rain!
