Default Hummingbirds

Are Hummingbirds normally seen at this time of year in TV?

For the past 3 years, my first Ruby Throat sightings were on March 9, 10 and 8. I'm on the northern edge of The Villages.

Bluebirds typically eat mealy worms etc, not big on seeds etc, Lowes has containers of these disgusting looking creatures, but...Bluebirds Love them. I wish you all the luck. Once established they always return, clean out the house after each hatching if you are lucky they will have two during the season. Just make sure after a month or so after they leave clean out there home with a very light detergent, rinse, thoroughly.

Remember seeds are not good.
