I've had food out for 2 weeks and not seen a sign. Usually by now we have a few.
Anyone have them at their feeder?

No sighting here on Southern Oklahoma, it's getting close.
When there here in force they will drink the feeder dry every day before noon.
20-30 all day long.

Put 2 feeders out Saturday afternoon, just before dark I saw 3 hummers at the feeders.

Wife has a national tracker that sez they’ll be in Cooke county late this week.

Neighbor here in Sweetwater waved at me a couple of days ago and shouted "Hummingbirds." He's a big fan.

For those that do your own mixing, what are the parts per unit? Do you use a red food coloring?

1 cup sugar to 4 cups water. I do it in a big juice jug and keep in fridge.
