Beautiful picture! (I'm in Southern California so our feeders are out year 'round as well as planting things they like. We love having them around.)

Feeders are out year round in coastal Washington too, our Annas overwinter and entertain me every single morning of the week ;-) The Rufous showed up about St. Patricks Day, love it when they join us, and they leave again all too soon - will be gone in July. But the Annas we are feeding 12 months of the year.

Nicole, what kind of hummer is that?

I put my feeder up several days ago and will add another once I begin to see visitors.

rhizo.....a broadtailed, juvenile male. Here he is holding still...

I've got a month yet..MN

Thanks, Nicole!

I put out a single feeder several weeks ago but haven't had mine return yet. According to the migration map, they have been spotted all around my area the last couple of weeks. It was down below freezing last night. Hate to think of the little guys getting so cold.

I am in California and I get them year around. They seem to like all the flowers I have blooming every season so don't have a feeder. I love watching them going from flower to flower. They really love all my citrus trees.

Loved the photos.

Nichole, you take the most amazing pictures, just amazing.

I am in awe of the superb photography! Jealous of the varieties of hummers too!

First thing we did when we got back from Florida was to set out feeders. So far have seen 4 or 5 sipping the nectar. We usually set out 6 feeders at a time until they migrate south again.

Actually you should have a humming bird feeder all year round, we had one winter when was still living at parents house came and so my parents put one feeder out and then brought it in and thawed and put the other one out and it was well used. You have to do certain amounts though for cold and then summer but I have forgotten what my mother did. Also make your own do not at all buy the store bought unless its not coloured as the red dye is harmful to the hummingbirds. Put more then one out and keep an eye as they can go fast and need tons of filling up. kathy

I put our feeder out on March 15. First little hummingbird arrived April 3, probably one just passing through. The ones that come stay with us all summer won't arrive until the end of the month or early May and will stay with us until early to mid-October.

Thanks for the reminder. Looking at the 2016 ruby throated HB migration map, they've just been sighted in my state

Not yet; we still have snow in the forecast for the next couple days, and still cold temps after that. Also we don't usually get them here until sometime in June. Beautiful pics!

Too early for me too. We usually don't see the scouts until the end of April. Your photos are breathtaking!

No feeders needed here in Northern CA. I grow pink and yellow cestrums, and pineapple sage and Meyer lemons. We have a constant population of the smaller hummers - Rufous? - which have sadly driven away the bigger, mellower Anna's.

Thanks for the reminder. I cleaned and refilled my feeders this afternoon. We are having rain this weekend, so I hope the birds get out and visit my feeders.

In Colorado we usually get our heaviest snows in late April. At least they'll have food while they wait it out.

Beautiful photos everyone. I wish we got ones here that were as colorful. Ours are pretty drab except for one with a red/orange throat callled Allen's.

We have mostly Anna's.
