[mou] Hummingbirds...When will they return ?

[Stan Merrill]

Hello, all ye "Hummers!"

To check the northward migration of hummingbirds,
check not only the website listed below, but
also...
http://journeynorth.org/
http://journeynorth.org/
and also post your sightings, too!

When they return depends upon your location.
In Apple Valley, MN, I've sighted 
Ruby-throated hummingbirds...
May 12, 2001
May 11, 2002
May 26, 2003
May 26, 2004
May 18, 2005

So I plan to put out nectar feeders early May.
With a flat-style feeder with larger ports,
same feeder will work for both the hummingbirds
and the Orioles, which also like nectar, plus
grape jelly.

Happy "humming," wherever you may live.
