Anyone else have an unusually large number of hummingbirds this year?

They're knocking on our door in Ohio and with a warm spell next week they should start showing up. We're ready.

As we've discussed before, I think some of the birds return the next year because they go to spaces where feeders may have been the last year but aren't the current year.

When we see those little swarms of bugs in the yard the birds seem to show up. Must be a culinary prediction since they eat so many of them.

The first birds showed here 3/13/25, need to change the feeders today.

Looks like there in central WI now. We reside north of that.

Really it’s only April 10th I highly doubt there are any Hummingbirds in central Wisconsin right now. Maybe they will start showing up here in a couple more weeks.

I may have seen a old map.

Agree, the returning birds do. The first location I hung a feeder always gets the most visits.

Finally saw our first bird this morning! After hitting 80° yesterday, he picked a cooler (50°), windy day to show up.

We can't be far behind. Wife will put up a feeder today. Maybe one that sticks to the window. Here's hoping everyone has birds this year.

Have they changed their mapping system? I liked the old ones better.

It's the same. You just have to enlarge the screen until the individual sighting marks appear. Click on one and it will tell you when and where the sighting was plus any comments.
