I reported a scout a couple weeks back on the migration sight. We had one buzz the front feeder yesterday afternoon. This morning this guy surprised me! :D

I had one buzz me yesterday, when I was hanging laundry on the line. I saw it go to the feeder and then I saw it again this morning on the feeder. I'm sure there will be more in no time. Spring is finally here. :P

They're supposed to be back here too, but they must be hiding!

I put out my feeders two weeks ago..and have changed the nectar a couple times.....but not seen a-one!

(Hmmmmm........maybe if I stayed home from work and kept watch)........p :wink:

Haven't them here yet either, but I suppose putting out a feeder might help a bit hey?

Nice capture there!

Yippeeeee!

I saw my first one out the bedroom window this morning!

It was one of the first things I saw when I opened my eyes. What a wonderful surprise!
