Anyone see a hummingbird yet?

We have not yet in CenLA. With the warmer season we've had I'm curious if the little guys are in South LA yet?

I haven’t seen one yet in either CenLa or central Mississippi. Have all of my feeders cleaned up and ready for arrival!

I put out my three feeders this week, but haven’t seen any yet.

We use an Aspects Mini Humzinger because it's very easy to dismantle, clean and refresh the solution.

I'm getting some hibiscus planted tomorrow and my feeders have been out for about a week. Nothing yet.

Haven't seen any yet. The feeder is hung but empty. I will fill it this weekend.

cheapest ones I can find. Smaller is better too.

I've posted in the past about these from Dollar Tree. I get a case (24) every year. Order should arrive Tuesday. LINK

Year's past we had all sorts of feeders but this model is what seemed to be most attractive to them.

I have recently seen a Calliope, a few Black-chinned and a Broad-tailed. Also read reports of several other species in the area - which have spent winter in this area and are leaving or will be leaving soon.
I have not seen incoming Ruby-throated yet, but that is not surprising since research indicates that these birds migrate based upon the length of days rather than some knowledge of weather conditions at distant destinations.
Previous year records show that we can expect mostly young males on March 15 in much of southeast Louisiana. Possibly a day or two earlier along the coast.
