If you're east of the Mississippi, have you seen any ruby throated hummingbirds yet?
If so, how far North are you?

3. Southern Maryland here - not yet, and we've had our feeder out for
three weeks. We will post the day we see the first! Where are you?

Oh - I'm at about 38 degrees.

5. I'm in Upstate NY, just 10 miles south of Lake Ontario.
Our normal frost date is May 15, but it's been such a warm Spring I was wondering if I should set the feeder out yet. The black flies are out and a starling has a nest in my barn.

4. I live on the east side of the Mississippi in WI, but haven't seen any hummingbirds.
There really is not much flowering here yet although our weather has been very warm.

9. They hang out in Georgia year-'round.
I've only seen a couple since the beginning of Spring, but that's 'cause we let our feeder run dry.

10. I figure they follow the frost line. I'm just curious if they'll show up here earlier this year.
