It's 7:30 am and I already have 4 hummingbirds competing for 2 feeders.

It seems like later in the season they are more likely to share, but they are quite competitive in the early spring. They put on quite a show.

I put my feeders up about a week ago and had my first visitor within an hour.

1. I'm envious!

My bird feeders are covered in snow right now .....

2. We have them around for 6 months or so out of the year. They arrive sometime in April and

leave for fall migration in late September or early October.

4. We saw our first hummer of spring Sunday morning.

Filled the feeders and they were soon being visited.

5. I just love watching them. I have feeders set up so I can see them from my desk at work.

They catch the morning sun and the birds glow like little jewels. They really get busy in late spring and early summer. I guess the nestlings are coming around about that time.

6. We have one outside the kitchen window, and one we can see when we're in the living room.

We still get excited when the first ones show up. I suspect the first ones are just stopping by on their way north, because we often see a few feeding and then there is a pause before we get some who come every day. Watching birds on the feeders is better than TV any day.

7. I saw the first one yesterday and he reminded me to put the feeder out...

it was one of the tiny green ones. He flew over the spot where the feeder usually is and was like "Hey! Lady! In the Window! Where's the stuff?"

I got it ready and later in the afternoon I saw several return to the spot.

8. I had that happen a couple of years ago.

I have more tiny birds this year than I've ever had this early in the season. I'm considering a third feeder.
