I'm so excited!! I can't wait till I see them popping up right below West Va.. and then in my state at my window!! Can't wait! Can't wait! LOL.....
Here's another site with maps:

This one tracks not only the first hummers, but also orioles, barn swallows, monarch butterflies, frog songs, and more!
I sure do love to watch those hummingbird dots move up the map towards me!

Thanks!! We've bookmarked these websites. Only 2 months until we see our first Hummer. Our hummer buffet will be set in welcome . Fortunately, lots of in-migration in the meantime. Yesterday a flock of about 500 mountain bluebirds lit up the trees like Christmas lights. I don't think there could be a 'bluer blue'.

Yes! They are right on time!
I set up a feeder yesterday, and saw my first hummer today. I watched him checking a couple places where I had feeders last year, and it took him no time to find the one feeder that is up. He then went hovering above the place where we have a large turk's caps bush (but these are just beginning to regrow...), and went to perch on the blackgum tree that our RBs like so much.
That made my day. I can't seem to stop smiling.... |=)| |=)| |=)|

Still no hummers that I have seen in Central West Va. :-C
I keep having dreams that I am seeing them at my window feeder. I get all excited thinking I can report them to the migration map thingy! LOL... Then I wake up.

Hummers here early
We are in northwest Georgia in the US and I typically don't put out my feeders until around the first of May, but this year, I got my new window feeder up on April 8th and on the evening of the 11th, saw this little guy visiting! I am so glad they are back early and we'll have longer to enjoy them.

Migration miracle
Hi - was watching a documentary (David Attenborough's Life of Birds) which had a little segment on Ruby Throated's migration across the Gulf of Mexico.
The trip is at the very limits of the tiny bird's endurance - only when conditions are perfect can they make it across. The slightest head- or crosswind and it's curtains. They must have astonishing timing to start the trip at just the right moment.

A good start this year
I have more Ruby Throats around than I ever recall from past years. I may have to move a soft chair near the feeder, the steps are hard to sit on for long.

Thanks for the link!
It is like an air circus here, it is dry, and my little wooded and swampy area is drawing them in. I am loving every minute of it.
