Hi, Mel and welcome to the forum on behalf of the staff and moderators. Don’t live in North Texas, (I did grow up in the Dallas area) even with the heat the birds will be finding a lot of natural pollen and insects right now to feed on. That could be one reason, also (you probably do this already) make sure to change the sugar water even more often than usual due to the heat.
Hi Mel and a warm welcome from me too.
I'm sure you will enjoy it here and I hope to hear about all the birds you see when out and about.

The heat is a driver. I lived in Cleburne before and fed there. I suggest people spend on at least one good Pennington feeder. And 10 dollar tree feeders placed in different types of spots around your place. Some shade, some sun. Some in open. Some sheltered. And multiple sides of structures because they are so territorial. Doing this will teach you their habits at your specific location.
We since moved down to Austin. They aren't here yet for 2024, but will be in the next month. Then through Waco and up to ya'll!
Merlin app is good for that. You can use it to view locations south of you as well.

If they don't arrive soon, I think we will have a late cold front. My feeders are out just in case we don't. We had a warm winter. It is close to 80° this week.Hi there Austn and a warm welcome to you.
