I put my feeder out two weeks ago and still haven't seen any!! It has been cold and raining all week here in New Jersey, so I hope they come soon.... 😔😞

My feeder is out but no hummers yet (that I've seen).

Whohoo!! Just spotted my first of the year on my feeder. A male. Made my day! I'm in north central Ohio right on the lake.

I am so lucky because those little guys stick around my place all year (CA). I did want to share a wonderful fountain/birdbath that a poster turned me on to last year and the hummers LOVE IT! From Kmart and worth every penny...the red attracts them and I added a feeder close by. They are there from morning to night. Thank YOU to the poster who first showed this fountain!

I put our feeder out 10 days ago, saw one 2 days later, none since. We've had lousy weather here in NC, maybe that's the reason. I'll give it another few days and if I don't see any, I'll take it down, wash it out and refill with more solution.

Saw my first one 2 days ago and it is a male. He has been coming regularly. It takes about a week later for the females to arrive. I am in New Hampshire! Weather has been cold and rainy.

Just put two feeders out this afternoon. Hope to see hummers soon. We finally had some sun today.

@luvsbulldogs, thanks for giving your location. I am in Nova Scotia, patiently waiting. They came last year on May 12th. LM

I saw my first 4/29. Then nothing for about a week. Then one again. Lately one or two per day.

I read somewhere, for every one you see, there are six that you don't see.

I am sure they are on their way. We now have 2 males.

I live in PA and put two feeders up on Saturday. Alas, I haven't seen any hummers yet. Where are they? the hummers.

Daisy Sunflower — Thu, 12 May 2016 21:15:48 GMT

We have a feeder and they've been here for at least 5 days now.

I love when they show up ... such little beauties!!

ladyroxanne — Sat, 14 May 2016 14:31:06 GMT

we have them here year round in northern ca, but thinking about it maybe not quite as many they really like our backyard.

When the star jasmine began blooming my feeder was deserted. I am so happy to have flowers they enjoy.
