So they mostly come around and to the windowsill more or less in the evening or early morning. They will be more frequent visitors after the babies have fledged I think usually the male is the first one I see in the spring. It really is dazzling when they stretch out their neck and flash that ruby throat reflection into the sun. Here is a male from last year.
