Hummingbird Garden

Hummers already?

11 years ago

Both my husband and I *think* we've seen hummers racing by our kitchen window here in southwest VA. It is way too early I know. I am putting my feeder out tomorrow just in case. Happenstance there was just a segment on TV saying hummers are coming earlier this year. Anyone else have sightings yet on the eastern US? Sallie

I can't wait 'till the hummers come back to us up north. Still to cold right now.

I plan to hang my hummingbird and oriole feeders on March 16 in western PA. I will look into their early migration. I might have to change my date. Thanks for the heads up salliestarr!
