Just wondering when the Humming Birds are due to arrive in the Corpus area? I put a feeder out ... hoping I might get a visitor. Can anyone tell me when they are due. Thanks!

Thanks, guys! Then I should have some at my feeder, hopefully, soon. When is the migration due in full bloom?

Black chins and one Ruby throat have been up here for about three weeks.

I think the migration back North was either very swift or they missed us completely. Or it hasn't happened yet with the long winter we had this far south. The migration North is not like when they are heading south. When they are going South they will hang around my place for a few days getting all they can from my feeders. When going back north they hang around for a few hours and boom they are gone.

Well, if you see any, send 'em my way because I have a full feeder of yummy liquid for 'em to slurp up. I love to watch them.

I saw our first male Ruby Throat up here (Arkansas) on April 4th, so they've been in Corpus Christi for quite a while!
