I've had some feeders up for weeks. This weekend is about the time I start to see and hear them. The first time they "buzz" me usually gives me quite a startle. :lol:

Sorry guys but I'm going to put up one of my feeders this weekend. They won't be out in full force until mid to late June.

:lmao: I've had mine up since the weekend I met Dems, which was maybe three/four weeks ago? Somebody posted a map that showed they were in the area then, though scarce. Man, I should have just PM'd you......

Even so the ones heading farther north need juice too. :razz:

Right..but I think they're all slower this year.

Besides I was laughing because when I put mine up, ya'll's will disappear. You know I hog all the hummingbirds in Southern Maryland.

I'm 2 old 2 die young!
I have 3 Finch feeders outside my LR window and I counted 23 out there the other nite. AND that crazy cardinal. Not only is he picking on my LR windows, he's started on the mirrors of my husband's work truck.

Try finches, they are easier to keep around! I love them
It's hard to pick a favorite as I love to sit and watch all the birds.

I have many goldfinch and house finches, along with titmouse, woodpeckers, Carolina wrens, cardinals, blue jays, blue birds, mourning doves, sparrows, nuthatches, chickadees, robins, plus a hawk & an owl. Once in a while I'll see water birds flying over the house with fish in their feet flying back to their nests.

I know the hawk and the owl are here to feed on the other ones or rodents, but they are a sight to see.
