Seems like they're way late this year. Last year we saw the first one on March 10. Are y'all seeing any?

Maybe the recent cold weather kept them farther south for longer? I'm headed to the Ranch (Navarro county) tomorrow, we have quite a few hummingbird feeders there. I'll let you know if we have any.

Thanks for posting that map Superduty. Looks like they're west of us for now.

We have a couple that have been showing up for about a week at our feeder.

I was passing thru the kitchen yesterday and saw our first one on the feeder, very fidgety and buzzed away. I put up our first feeder Feb. 28 and we normally have them start showing up the first or second week of March. Just a little late this year so it seems ... west of Georgetown

Wife saw one a couple of days ago. We are about 25 miles north of Nacogdoches. She said it must to have been a repeat visitor. Went directly to the feeder like he was familiar with them

First one showed up here just now. Looks to be a Black Chinned Hummingbird.
