Hummingbirds are on their way North

[Smart Red]

It is that time again. Time to watch the advance of humming birds into the United States. Check out this site: Hummingbird migration to see where the birds have been seen this spring and help you know when to put your hummingbird feeders out.

This map only charts the migration of ruby-throated hummers. Other humming birds my be ahead or behind this migration.

We usually start seeing them here around April 15th. But I always try to get a feeder out towards the end of March, just in case. I need to get a couple new feeders this year (Yea!)

I gotta get my feeder up!

It is rather exciting to watch them move up the states. I expect them anytime after April 1 most years.

Thanks for the reminder. I love the anticipation of their arrival!

I think ours show up mid April most years. I'll have to look at last years calendar. Our first visitors are Calliope, then Rufous.

The Anna's are here all year, they're building nests right now, If our cat Percy only knew all the extra brushing she's been getting lately is to provide nesting material for them .
The Rufus will be here by the end of the month, although there has been one area in the city that has had Anna's for quite a few years now, it's only in the last several years they have been in our garden. We feed sugar water all winter but today I saw one buzzing some Pulmonaria flowers this morning.
