I started seeing them at the feeders about 2 weeks ago. I have 3 or 4 pairs hanging out.


How common are species other than the Ruby Throated Hummingbird? I saw one (briefly) that had a lot of orange on it. Haven't seen it again.

I've got one a-hole camped out guarding one of mine already. I'll get a couple others occasionally passing through.

I put out some feeders a few days ago here in NW Arkansas, but none have been seen yet.

They're near the end of their migration, you'll get a new batch of birds every couple days as they pass through.

My dad had one of those at his feeder all day Easter. Said he usually doesn't see them like that though.

Only one so far, but the feeder is new.

Oodles of cardinals, woodpeckers, bluejays, etc at our feeders though. Some crows and doves on the ground eating up the over-spray. Also a few tits in our hanging ferns nesting.

So far so good this year.

We have a lot. I believe next to the woods helps. They love sticky (dead) branches to rest on. They love shade, too.
Wife has 17 feeders out which include 2 on windows. Every Spring I order a case of feeders from Dollar Tree. 24 feeders for about $33 out the door. For some reason they seem to love these feeders.
