We've had humming birds for about 1week now. My purple martins just started showing up yesterday. Seems like they are late this year. But it has been sort of a late spring here.

I wonder if the hummingbirds knew the cold weather wasn’t over yet and that’s why they haven’t shown up here yet

The last 2 days we have had hummingbirds at the feeders! Always good to see them and the wrens!

Saw my first hummer yesterday morning, last night it was down to 17F. Wonder if the little guy wishing he'd stayed south bit longer.

Six inches of snow and still no humming birds. The feeders have been out for 3 weeks waiting for them. Maybe this week they’ll be back.

Found a new trait recently that I was unaware of until a few days ago. I have several trail cams out on our place for lure and bait testing and monitoring sites.

Had been having triggered videos with no visible activity in the view. Then I started seeing a few hummingbirds fly in and out of view. This was occurring just before and after midnight. Not sure if they triggered the cams initially or if they were roosting nearby and flew to the illuminated area after it was triggered.
