| Hi everyone;
I filled up my feeders here in Nova Scotia
and sure enough, I saw a hummer a few hours later.

| I filled all my feeders today. But mine have been up since the last week in Feb. My first hummer arrived March 3. If you are getting females already then the males have been around for at least a couple of weeks...they arrive first to establish their territory and then entice a female to stop.

| Barb, I'm still only filling every 3-4 days. But I have 5 hour glass feeders & 3 other small ones. The small ones need filled every day. And I think our first batch of kids are out of the nests...I've suddenly increased from 3 hummers to several. I have 6 red honeysuckle, 1 gold honeysuckle, some of the "wild" honeysuckle, 3 black/blue salvia & zinnias blooming that they are hitting besides my feeders. That's all that's blooming right now that they are interested in.
