The hummingbirds were late coming here to our area of Henry County,
and still don't seem to be here quite in full force. I usually see
them arrive in late April, but just saw the first for this year a few
days ago. We don't usually have many at our feeders in our shade-laden
yard, but our neighbor gets many swarming around her feeders in her
sunlit yard... but those numbers have not arrived even for them yet.
They just seem to be trickling in. The most I have seen are three at
one time, quite unusual for this late in spring.
