This morning I spied him/her for the first time. The hummingbird circled around the shepherd’s hook where the hummingbird feeder hung last year. I shouted out the happy news to my husband. When I’m finished this post I’ll take my feeder off the garage shelf, soak in hot sudsy water, rinse it well, fill it with boiled sugar water, and place it back on the hook. Oh Happy Day…the hummers have returned.
While I’m readying my yard for hummingbirds, take a look at the Cornell Lab West Texas hummingbird feeders in Live time.
MINDING MY P'S WITH Q 
My brother pointed out that the male hummingbirds come first, followed by the females. We have both now in NC.

I think this is the earliest I’ve seen one. It is probably a he if they come first. He remembered where the feeder hung last year. I have it set up, and flowers in place that will appeal to him.

Kathy,
It must be a “Hummer” from last year- he remembered. That means they live more than one year.
Great to know.

I was really excited that he remembered from the year before Susie. Usually I see them nearer to June. I was so excited I went out and bought some flowers already blooming that have some nectar. I will enjoy watching him through October. Kathy
