Title: Hummingbird (s) Have Arrived In East Fairfax??
Post by: Henry on May 17, 2010, 07:34:57 AM

"Hi Henry . . .
 
Have you seen a humming bird yet up there in East Fairfax?   Pauline saw one this morning at the feeder that we had put out about a week ago?

Guess they know when to come back...AFTER  the last significant snow stoms have ended (I hope!)  Now we can enjoy Spring.
 
Take care~

To be honest, I have not given a thought to putting up my hummingbird feeder yet - Haven't even got the leaves out of my flowers in front of the house yet - Got to be old age or laziness I guess.

Hi Henry,
I saw my first hummingbirds on Saturday evening. A male and a female. I usually have the first hummingbird(male) on May 10, with the female about a week later. If they had come on the 10th, the feeding ports would have been covered in snow.

I also caught sight of my first bluebird today, checking out a bluebird house in my yard.

Saturday was the first I saw one too, even though my feeder had been up for more than a week. I have had them as early as the 1st week of May in the past and was surprised to see them arrive so late this year.
