Hi Finchelover,
I'm in KCMO also (in the Northland.) I'm so excited you saw a hummer. I've been watching every day and have had feeders up for a couple of weeks. I'll make sure all are fresh and keep my eyes open!
Thanks for the info.

Hi, I saw my first hummer of the season this week, on April 22, 2007. I had just put out my oriole and hummingbird feeders on Saturday, and I had a visitor on Sunday. I'm in western Johnson County. I was worried that the weird weather might have messed-up the hummer migration. Usually, I see my first hummer about the time my azaleas start blooming. This year, no azaleas due to the bad weather--in fact there isn't much of anything blooming in my yard right now, so I was very glad to see a hummer this weekend.
