We had our first hummer today (4/8/13).
Last year, we had one show up in late March. He was here for 3-4 days and then left. We didn't see another until the first week in May. I hope this one today is here to stay. They are my favorite photo models...........

I think last year they may have been early. My father lives in very north Georgia, and has kept very good records of first arrivals for almost 20 years. Typically, the first arrivals have been April 6th to the 8th, usually on the 7th.

He had his first again this year on the 7th, so at least for him, they appear to be right on time.

So I'd guess I have about a week to get the feeders out? I'm in north central WV....I admit I've never kept a record on when I see the first hummer but will definitely be doing that from now on. Maybe they are a more reliable indicator of when warm weather is here to stay, since we have Robins that stay year-round.

I saw my first Ruby Throated of this year today, 12th April. My feeders have been up for 3 days so they could have visted before now and I had not seen it. I like the idea of a feeder hanging on a window. My wife and I were having breakfast when the bird was fluttering around the feeder no more that 3 feet from us.
