Awaiting the Hummingbirds!

I have been patiently watching the Ruby-Throated Hummingbird Migration map for several weeks now, as the migration is very much upon us. Well, given our very cold start to a Spring, the hummers have been wise to bring that to a standstill towards the end of March, with not much movement until these past couple of days. Here is today's map, courtesy of our Hummingbird friends at http://www.hummingbirds.net/map.html

There have been several enviable sightings in my area (Eastern PA), and I glance out the window often eagerly awaiting for their return, having hung my feeder a few days ago when the weather finally broke (yes, 87 degrees here today, NUTS)!  As to the almost vigil, it's like waiting for Christmas morning but without knowing the actual date!

Here are some pics from last August, the first season I hung a Hummingbird feeder.
