Hummingbirds 2024

upthesaukee · 05-02-2024, 02:44 PM

Hello all. I put out my feeder on Sunday, April 28th. The feeder is next to my chair in the living room, and I hadn't seen neither hide nor hair of my hummingbirds. Until now....May 2nd.
First hummingbird of the year just made a fly-by at around 3:40pm and then stopped for a drink. It just made another swing by as I am typing this.

Welcome back.

I just came here to say the same thing! I put the feeder out a week ago but didn't see any hummingbirds until today. One male hummingbird arrived a little after noon; he must be heading north.

The wave must be starting. My feeders have been up for 2 days. Just had my first visitor a few minutes ago.

Feeders have been up for a week. I also had my first visitor yesterday. It's the first time ever that the first hummingbird of the year that I saw was a female.

I started tracking the migration a few days ago and the closest I had found to Alton was in Barnstead. It took a few days for them to get to my place, but it appears they are here.

I have seen one buzzing around my Azalea bush and am waiting for my Rhododendrons to open up.

We had our first, a male at our feeder yesterday, 5/02

Our first arrived April 30th (compared to May 8th last year). We now have seen two, competing for the feeder (although we have two, one in front and one in back) as usual.

They finally got to Welch, usually a week after UP's place. Some fighting going on.
