People in my area are posting that the hummers are arriving - so I put up our feeder.  We are in SE VA - it's been so cold and windy lately but we are prepared!

We are in upstate SC and the hummers haven't arrived here yet.  We put our first feeder up over a week ago and have seen no birds.  We are prepared for their arrival.

If my dog doesn't like you, neither do I.

We had an extreme (for us) freeze and the hummers are scarce so far.  It should pickup with migration.

I too am in upstate SC.  I had put mine out a few weeks ago and "scout" appeared on the 26th.  I expect he will disappear for a few days and then more will follow.

I've had 2 arrive about 2 weeks ago.  My feeders are out.  I'll add more feeders when the rest of the crew come.

I'm in Central Florida.

I live in NE Texas and the little hummers arrived here a couple of days ago.  I'm using a "saucer" type feeder this time....no drips cause there's no vacuum-pressure in the bowl.  The traditional ones that have an upside bottle, causes drips from the vacuum-pressure which attracts wasps and bees.
