Early Birds
Watching the migration maps and keeping local data from year to year can help you be ready—even when hummers arrive early.

"Looking at the maps we saw hummingbirds had reached Rhode Island so we put out our feeder today. It didn't take long. Just hours later they started arriving. In the past we haven't seen them before May 1st."
