Anyone see hummingbirds yet?

[g5m]

They've been in the desert for a month or so. I believe the Conquistadors referred to them as "Flying jewels".

I've had two feeders up since April but haven't seen any.

Saw one while walking the dogs just a little while ago at a neighbors feeder... Greenville, S.C.

Wear a bright orange or yellow ball cap around the yard and you'll know when you have hummingbirds.

I have a pair here for a little over a week now. See them frequently at my feeder.

Finally got around to hanging my feeder last Sunday (5/14). Within an hour had 2 working it over. Been watching them for past few days. Need to get a 2nd one and watch them out front window. Great part of my morning.

They are here now, very active at our feeder…I think they arrived the day after I posted that we had not seen them so about a week and a half now..

 

[nekvermont]

It got down to about 25 degrees last night and my feeder was almost frozen solid this morning, but the hummingbirds were still around.

None here at home but we get them at our camp. (50 miles west)

I guess you didn't find any frozen hummingbird pop-sickles laying on the ground?

 

[Old and grumpy]

This would be the place to ask. Do you know of a DRIP/LEAK PROOF feeder?

 

[coach]

I haven't seen any yet but they must be around. We haven't had a frost in weeks.
I'll miss the hummingbirds and butterflies that were attracted to a mimosa tree we took disown last summer. But it was too close to the house, clogged the gutters and sprouted seedlings all over the yard.

We had one that nested outside of my hydro-power biologists window at the office all winter (in the snow!)

Saw one at my neighbor's feeder yesterday here in North Central Washington. Had woodpeckers (flickers) going a month ago across the street.

Put my feeder out earlier this week, saw the first hummingbird today, SE KY.

 

[Old and grumpy]

Years back. Had Cape Honey Suckle growing on the side of the house. Heard a blast go past my ear. Like a shrapnel buzz. (yes I know that sound). I hit the deck. ??? Next day I hear it again. I turn to see a Hummer fly off. On the twig my head had hit was a nest with two eggs. Size of 2 peas. For the next weeks I watched them several times a day. One day there was a tiny beak sticking out of the shell. Hour later there is a pea size fuzz ball with big eyes looking at me. They say critters imprint on the first thing they see. I am now daddy bird. I talked to them every day. They got big and flew away. --- One year latter. I hear the buzz again. I turn. 6" in front of my nose is a Hummer. He sits there for some time then flies off.Now I am Grandpa bird. --- Like I said they will come into my room to watch TV with me. As long as I have food.

I've yet to see a Hummingbird this year, but just today I saw my first Swallow. This has been a weird year.

 

[eveled]

Saw the first one yesterday. Just north of Boston.
