On their southward migration? I'm in New England and *see* them in the second week of April. Usually, they leave in September. I watch this map with eager anticipation of their arrival.

Not only are they beautiful to watch, but curious and intelligent. We've been fortunate to have them feed from our hands ... heart-stoppng! ;-)

Here's an insect catch ... and with the tongue extended. Great stuff.

Some kind of amazing picture. I’ve noticed they’re bold(not bothered by my presence near their feeders) but sure haven’t had them feed from my hand.

And yes, they stop by my place on their way back to C-AM/S-AM, staying about 5-6 weeks before moving along. Don’t know why they never stop by on the northward migration.
