Male black-chin at the feeder in the morning and when I got home. Right on schedule according to Hummingbird Central. Pay attention Ruby-throat guys, they were reported as far north as Maryland this morning. https://www.hummingbirdcentral.com/hummingbird-migration-spring-2024-map.htm

Haven't seen any here yet, don't expect to. Very few flowers in bloom around here yet. Maybe in another month and a half.

We just got the robins and redwings back. the hummers will be a while. Nothing's growing yet and the mosquitoes aren't out so they'd get a bit hungry.

Thanks bird watcher.
See lots of hummingbirds here each year, they nest around the place and get pretty aggressive.
Watched your video, guess there is two species expected here. Will have to pay closer attention this year, think the ones I always see are the broad-tailed. Suppose to be here by April 4th.

We have some cool birds here, but the Hummers we saw in BC and down to SF were amazing. Beautiful birds.

My black-chins always arrive just about April 15.
