Anyone here seeing them yet?
We just had 2 flying around the back porch, where we normally hang our feeders.

I’ve had two for over a month. The giant wave where I have to fill the feeder every day has not happened just yet. I think it is really amazing when you have 10-12 of them just prior to a front and as soon as it passes, poof!, they are all gone.

1 cup sugar to 4 cups water
I have a plastic pitcher I just dump 1/4 sugar in then add boiling water
When I fill the feeders I fill 3/4 then add a little more water
I’m refilling at least 3 or 5 feeders twice a day in Central

I just use probably one cup or so of sugar and stir water in a glass and pour it into the feeder

I am still getting swarms of hummers up here especially early in the morning. Of the three feeders I have to refill at least one a day. One particular feeder is more popular than the others due to it's location. It is further from my patio than the other two. Two feeders are on flagpoles and one is on my string lights at my deck.

I’m in Memphis burb. Have not seen the swarms yet. It’s getting close but we have the same 5 or 6 that have been here most of the summer.

It's wild that we've had them for a long time up here in Shreveport. I have some that make next in our huge Crape Myrtles. We've got some native flowering plants that are constant, even with the drought.

Central AL, we have 15-20 fighting over the feeder

Just saw 2 in my backyard. Lafayette area. I need to go get a couple feeders this week.

There is no cool weather up here. It is forecast to hit 100 degrees all this week.

They are in full force in North GA right now.
They are gassing up.
As soon as it drops into the 60s at night, they disappear and start their migration South.
