Also we have the Junco at our feeders as well but they prefer the platform and the ground. OH and I love love love the little Ruby-Crowned Kinglets!
But when these precious birds come back to you then it is just a matter of weeks and the hummingbirds are back. They usually are back here around the 3rd or 4th week in March, dependent upon the weather.

It is in the 70's again today. I walked around the yard and seen all my daffodils up about 2 inches and in my small flower bed I have 9 hyacinths up about 4 inches. Yea, Spring is here!!! My DH says yuck, almost time to get the mower out. [He is tired of the cold though and what snow we got] I do worry about that too. He needs 4 bypasses, but the Crazy Drs. want to wait for more symptoms before they do it. He died on me 7 yrs ago and I was able to jump start his heart again and he had 5 bypasses then. He is 60 now. This was in MI. Here in SC, I guess they are waiting for him to die again. DUHHHHH!! I want him more than our 37 yrs. together. Sorry about that. Got going again, but it just frustrates me. We had 3 opinions too. Anyways HAPPY SPRING TO EVERYONE!!!!! We have many Cardinals , blue birds, finches, woodpeckers, Doves, pigeons, many many hummingbirds[my favorites] and of course those rotten squirrels that eat the bird food.

I so miss welcoming spring, what we get here in Fla is another balmy day, and a few flowers that come back after the cold spell, not complaining, just have to watch for the subtle signs of spring. Its like the re awakening of the world!:)
