Has anyone seen them yet this year? I’ve had my feeder up for over a week. My FB memories over the last few days shows they should be making an appearance any time.

Yep, just showed up.

Scouts are out and about in LP

I'm going to make some nectar now and put my feeder out tomorrow.

The one today was tiny, like fat mans thumb tiny.

We don't get many here in swampy part of the 7D, but that's about how big the mosquitoes get.

I need to dilute. I did 2 sugar to 4 water. Dur me.

That much sugar might explain the three of them that passed me on the highway this morning.

May have had some show up at my house but I’ve been out and about and could have missed them.

I have had them at my feeders here in Charlotte Hall for over a week now. So far, I have only counted two of them.

Yeah, I had forgotten that..and just saw a little guy at our feeder a couple minutes ago.

I feel bad for mine since I will be moving out toward the end of May. Maybe I could leave a hummingbird feeder as a house warming present for the new folks.

They fly around so fast how could you tell?

He was quiet - definitely not a female.

The males are darker in color and shorter and stouter than the lighter, more slender females.
