FHOTY

A few weeks ago, my lovely wife and I observed FHOTY (pronounced "faugh-tee", like "faulty" but more fun). What's FHOTY you ask? Well, kind reader, you've no doubt already deduced that it is an acronym, given the presence of many capital letters. If that is your deduction, you are correct. It IS an acronym! Congratulations!

FHOTY stands for "first hummingbird of the year".

My wife adores hummingbirds. A few weeks ago, we observed the first hummingbird of the year visiting one of our hummingbird traps feeders. It drank a little "nectar", squeaked "hello" to us, then flew on its way.

Have you experienced FHOTY yet?
