According to this website, the hummingbirds are approaching the Missouri border. Sounds like it's just about time to put out the hummingbird feeders.

I have neighbors around Truman lake that have already seen some. I love to watch them.

Look at the first spotting days recorded in Canada this year and then compare the first Canadian sighting dates last year. Wow!!

I have yet to see one either. !!! So frustrating.
My juncos haven't left yet, either, although they are fewer in number.

Banding studies suggest that individual birds may follow a set route year after year, often arriving at the same feeder on the same day. We do not know if any individual bird follows the same route in both directions, and there are some indications that they do not. I have put out petunias and Kalanchoe with blooms. They love these two flowers and when i see them there I will fix some water for them. It is said that they return to the water feeders on the same day every year.
