I know it's still a month or so away before they show up here in New England, but has anyone down south seen any hummers yet? I saw my first honeybee out yesterday and got to thinking about spring.

Just getting green grass here, finally. Haven't even found a morel yet. Hummers should be here once it warms up more than it has been. Not sure what they would eat here yet.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Yes, they have started showing up last week. My wife loves to watch those little birds from the kitchen window.

No humming or green grass, just robins and bluebirds.

We have overwinterers here on the 45th parallel. Always amazing to see them even when there is snow on the ground.


My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

Thebeaverguy, a couple of males showed up at my feeder on 4-11, here in northeast Tn. Haven't seen any females yet. I understand they arrive later than the males. I hope you get some there soon.

36 more days for the early ones....granted that the snow melts out of Minnesota by then to get over it.

If I put my feeders out, they'd freeze overnight. It's been below freezing at night around here.


Remember as a kid we played army and you gave up the fort so the other side got it? Of course you don't. Little kids aren't that stupid.

I watch for the sapsuckers to return. The hummers usually arrive shortly after them. They raid the sapsucker sap holes(sweet sap and insects) if other food is scarce.


I've learned enough thru the years to now know that I don't know enough. KNOWLEDGE IS FREEDOM.
