There should be some in Mobile by now. I'm in the Florida panhandle, this morning I had 4 fighting over the front feeders. Usually one or two hanging around my back feeders.
All males still, the females should be here soon. The numbers are still going up as migrants arrive. That will continue through the month of April.

I've been a hummingbird nut since seeing them in Colorado as a kid. We'd go out every summer to Estes Park and I was in charge of feeding them. There are some incredible ones down in Central and South America, I've spent hours at a time watching them down there.

I've seen two around my feeders in BR this week, hoping it's just the start

I saw my first male Ruby Throat today in downtown Lake Charles. I quickly refreshed the nectar and he was still around this afternoon.

Thanks for the photos!

The wife and I went to Costa Rica for our honeymoon in October of 2015. I brought my Bird ID book with me and tried to keep track of the different species of all birds I saw. I literally gave up on the hummingbirds because there were so many and they are so fast it was hard to make a positive ID.

It was incredible though.
