My brother saw a RT Hummingbird feeding at a flowering Quince bush 
today in the garden at home in Bedford.  I think they often come to 
Quince flowers, which bloom early and are often reddish-pink.

Perhaps we just haven't happened to see the male yet, but we are
wondering what is happening.&nbsp; Has anyone ever seen Hummers at tree
flowers, eg. Maples?&nbsp; I have a theory that that is what they
primarily feed on when they first arrive, but I've never actually seen it
