My other "pets" arrived on Tuesday - right on schedule. A hummingbird
on my feeder. This is the third year in a row that they arrived on May
6th.

Just don't arrange any media coverage for next year! Remember the
famous Capistrano swallows. (They ALWAYS returned on the same date,
every year - until the year there was a big media circus arranged to
televise th event, and the swallows failed to cooperate.)
