Has anyone north of St.Louis seen and hummingbirds yet?

anyone ? yet ?
north of St. Louis?

I have three feeders out all the time. They still only use the (same) one. We have them year-round here.

My friend in SW Michigan posted on FB about seeing one earlier this week.

no hummers yet , but an oriole showed up on saturday , last

We have had hummingbirds for 3 weeks now at least. We have about 10 around at the moment. We are in Northern New Mexico so technically slightly south of St. Louis.

Saw my first two of the year today.

Mr. Sig
didn't you folks just get through with a bunch of winter weather ?

I've started seeing them here in Maine in the last two days.

Just one or two here and there so far, but there'll be a flock of 'me when it warms up a bit more. I've seen as many as a dozen fighting over the feeders.

Also have three male orioles and at least one female. (I know there are three as I saw them all at once.) I can't remember the last time we saw an oriole around here.

Nothing here yet. Just had 6 different species fighting over the regular feeder, though.

I'm only about 90 miles south of you. Put a feeder out yesterday morning. By 5pm a ruby throat was buzzing around.

yesterday after noon, one showed up, she saw it , I didn't,
Finally !

I may have to consider one of those game camera thingy's for my feeder

Get the camera.

You'll be glad you did and they are great for filming lots of wildlife you may not even know has wandered into your yard. They even have night vision. Not bad for $60+or-!

still no humming birds ,

 
They are definitely here. I generally hear them rather than see them first. They thrive on our desert willow tree, which is a natural feeder, but I hear their buzzing wings more often than I see them.
 
This picture was taken last year, and the tree has grown. It sheds flowers and regrows them every day. The flowers hang upside down and are a favorite of the hummers.
 

 

Nothing in VA yet. Odd.

saw one one the north side feeder this morning,

must of come by way of Albuquerque

Finally seeing them here in NW Houston, little green bullet athletes !!

Saw one hovering outside my back door yesterday. I don't have any feeders out.

I'm in New Kent and my wife has been feeding them for several months. In fact, traffic has been down the last couple of days and she thinks they're packing to head South .
