Mine was Friday afternoon, the 17th. I always get excited when I look at
the map and see folks around here and north are getting them in early April,
but I am almost always around April 15-18th. We've had several here all
weekend.

At 2009 April 20 9:28 pm, I saw the first hummingbird of the season fly
towards the feeder at my house. It was a ruby-throated hummingbird, and it
looked like it may have had red near its throat, implying a male.
And I don't mean hummer, either:

I mean hummingbird as in
http://www.hummingbirds.net/map.html
which shows when hummingbirds first visit an area. The map shows that they
are all the way up to Binghamton, New York, now. The first ones came here
around April 6, according to the map.
When were your first hummingbird sightings?
