Just saw the first female today at the feeder Central IN. Now I will admit I haven’t been watching it closely but I am considering this my first sighting.

Don’t have feeders out yet, but had one fly right by my head as I was walking to the barn.

So has anyone ever seen the Hummer migration?? Seems like it would be like trying to see big foot.

The wife put the feeder out and we now have a gang of Baltimore Orioles swinging away on it.

Saw a hummer at our friend's house last week, but none here yet.
It's like bird heaven around here; hummingbird feeders, finch feeders, traditional bird feeder, oriole feeder, suet cakes, etc. We really like watching them.

We have permanently stored away our hummer feeders. We see many more since we started planting flowers in front of the windows instead. Zinnias are our favorite along with hanging pots of petunias.

We got the wife's mothers day flowers up last weekend and we have been getting occasional visits. I don't feed them and the flowers are simply whatever the wife wants.....mostly petunias of various colors.

Sugar water for the hummingbirds like the honeybees is okay, but real nectar from the flower is better. It has all the nutrients and some think feeding the sugars may hurt the birds. Bees will stop taking sugar water when there is nectar, but hummingbirds don't. Take down the feeder and plant nectar producing flowers. Note: some flowers produce very little nectar. Been learning a lot since being a beekeeper.
