Hooray, I wasn't imagining it! Yesterday afternoon I thought I heard a hummer but didn't see it. Have been keeping an eye/ear out all morning and finally saw it so can confirm a male Black-chinned hum has arrived, the first hummer species for this location this year. This arrival date is typical. Last year's first was March 8, which was unusually early for here. Yay for hums!
