In birmingham, we have another frost or freeze on the way.  I hope all the spring birds will be ok.  And, yesterday I saw one of those giant woodpeckers they were talking about on here not long ago.  It sounded like a woodpecker with a hatchet, thats why I looked.

We just had a hard frost last night and it’s really cold and windy this morning.  I have two male hummies here now and they are all puffed up trying to stay warm.  It should warm up soon, but the poor little guys look so cold!

I'm in Mass. and expect my first sighting in about 2 weeks. I put my feeders out by

April 15th so that the food is ready and waiting when they get here since nothing

is in bloom to feed them

If it doesn’t stop snowing pretty soon in NJ, our feeders won’t get active until July. AWFUL WINTER/EARLY SPRING.

Just had our first set of FOUR hummingbirds visit our flowers on the deck.We had a light frost last night (covered everthing during the night) and the plants are ok today. Flowers are still blooming. Temps are in the mid 60's. Baltimore area.

I'm in Western NY, and my Dad always told me the Hummingbirds arrive on Memorial Day, or as my wonderful Dad called it by it's older name "Decoration Day".  I can't wait to see the little hummers.  I'm patiently waiting for my pair of Oriole's that arrive every spring.

If our warm weather keeps up (s.e. PA) our hums may be early. They usually show up around the 2nd or 3rd week of May.

 

I haven't heard the orioles yet.

We saw our first hummingbird Thursday afternoon (Central Pennsylvania).  The feeders are up ... and waiting for action.  Smiley Happy  They're a little early this year.
