Thanks for posting this. I would imagine it's going to look a LOT different within the next 2 months or so!

Hi Bob,
I usually see my first ruby throat of the season sometime between May 18th and 30th so it'll likely be closer to three months before they're here. Jeez, that sounds like such a long time!
I'll be watching the map.

Hummers . . . and Martins! I read on another site today where Purple Martins have shown up in Texas!

And if hummers and Martins are on-continent, can spring be far behind?

How's your little girl, Bob? I've talked about her a lot lately . . . .

Hi Amasara,

It has been a wonderful experience helping our little guest. We live near the Henry Clay estate, off Main Street/Richmond road. If you are in the area please stop by for a visit to see her.Cheers,bob

I'm glad that she did so well though the winter, Bob. Well done! She sure looks healthy. We got our first ruby-throated hummingbird (a male) here on the 27th. I actually got a dot on the migration map, in Southeastern NC. He's stayed around for a couple of days now, but not sure if he's headed north. Once they establish their territory, I have about 20 of them that stay. Good luck with your little girl.

That map is a brilliant idea. Are there any more like it for other species?

That migration map is a great idea - inspired me to clean up the feeders and get them out yesterday - maybe I can get a dot on the map! Just had grass mowed for the first time - Spring and hummers are arriving soon - cold snap due the rest of the week.

Is it time to put out the feeder yet?

The map shows the rubys to be getting close to Kentucky! I am just across the Ohio River from Louisville and even thought the temperatures are only in the 50's, I've got the urge to put out the hummingbird feeders. Is it even possible yet or should I wait a week?

Even the possibility of Spring causes strange, unreasonable, impatient urges! <g>

You can't be too early - you will probably lure in birds that are heading further north and your food will aid them to get there.

Greetings, Don C, and welcome from all the staff here at Birdforum! It's a personal delight to see someone from southern Indiana on the forum (I have family in Washington County, not far from you).

Yes! Do get those hummer feeders out -- I'm looking for the little guys up my way in the next week or so.

Being in Sellersburg, you're not all that far from Muscatatuck and Big Oaks. Ever go birding at either of those places? And did you get the opportunity to see the Green-tailed Towhee that spent a good part of the winter at a feeder in New Albany? Gorgeous bird!!

Hope you'll take a little time to browse around the forums and get acquainted. There's tons of information here, contributed by members from all over the planet, with lots of great 'conversation' and knowledge happily shared.

Hope you enjoy your time on the forums, and we'll 'see' you around!
