Hummingbirds are back - 2024

[Bill M]

First male Ruby-throat showed up Friday. Got a couple of pics yesterday. I have had Rufous hummingbirds 1 or 2 at a time all winter. There is still one hanging around but they don't like sharing with the Rubies so I would bet it leaves soon.

Great shots Bill. Saw my first two back this weekend. Need to break out the camera. What lense are you shooting with to get these awesome pictures?

The first 2 hummers stopped by my Georgetown location a week ago.

I have a feeder out for two weeks now here in Harper and they are showing up now. Think I may put a few more out.

Beautiful pictures as always

Is it too early to put out feeders down here in the valley...it was a pretty slow year for 2023.

Very cool pictures Bill.

I am still waiting for ours to show up again here in the South Conroe area.

As usual great pics! And thanks again for the first alert/arrival of the hummingbirds. I will put my feeders out this weekend, early or not.

Good information! Go ahead and put more feeders up to decorate the new homestead. 😀

Thanks for the good comments, everyone. I had a two-week period in January where I didn't have a feeder out. The Rufous hummingbirds are here all winter in Colorado Co.

Paul, put them out. The birding centers down there have been getting the birds.
