I got 3 feeders out for 4 days nothing yet. First time humming bird feeder here, found a bunch of feeders down in the shed. The lady that lived here before us left about 200 flower pots and a dozen or so bird feeders.
I put my feeders up on April 15 and almost always see the first bird within a few days. I watch the migration map to see when they might be getting near. LINK

I have one feeding. Probably more that I just don't see. The cool spells probably keeping them south but we'll have lots when the weather warms up consistently.
First was a couple of weeks ago,got a half dozen now,they have moved from the feeders in front of my house to the ones in the backyard this year.Thats different.
Rehab is for quitters! THEY are all guilty! Name one honest politician! DEFINE Treason. God bless the USA Democrats ARE the plague! RINO'S need to be hunted! Who's a bigger puzzy than Paul Ryan? Mike Pence? John Kerry ? REELECT NOBODY! Except Trump
Wow. 30 feeding ports would be 29 too many here. My black-chins won't allow another bird anywhere near "their" feeder. They'll perch and chase off any bird but their own mate - or kids when they fly.
The only thing that my black-chins will not mess with are wasps. I think they might have learned that lesson the hard way. They attack everything else near the feeder.
Well, except for me. They know I am The Bringer of Good Stuff. If I take a feeder inside to clean and refill it, they'll hover where it's supposed to be, looking confused. Then, when I bring it out all freshly filled, they swoop right in immediately, almost before I can let go of it.
It’s official. First h-bird on my feeder outside my kitchen window just now. Landed on the little perch and fed for about 5 secs then whoosh it was gone.
