No Hummingbird sightings yet, but most of the other birds are back, including the blue birds. The year round birds were all getting their breeding plumage at the end of March and then mother nature threw a cruel "joke" on them April 1st with a blizzard. Freezing rain with high winds overnight, turning to 10" of wet, heavy snow. This whole area is still cleaning up the thousands of downed branches and trees from that "gift". We were without power for 20 hours. Overnight lows are still below freezing.
Might be why the Hummers and Oriels are a little slow returning to the frozen north.
