I have heard of at least two hummingbird reports in the area, and www.hummingbirds.net is now reporting hummingbirds all over the place in southern and central Virginia. So I put my hummingbird feeder up today. However, hummingbirds are still scarce at this time of the year. In fact since we moved into our present house, we have seen only one hummingbird in April. At my house, since 2010, these are the numbers of hummingbird sightings we have made: April 1 May 2 June 8 July 41 August 135 September 40 None in any other month of the year. It looks like August is their peak month. Jim Blowers
