I spotted my first one on the second of this month, Ruth, but they are not plentiful at my house as of now. I do have feeders out, but my honey bees like to drink from them as well.

I've had a couple around since mid March, which is usually when I see them first return to the area. I've had the feeders out for a few weeks now. I've seen them feed on the coral honeysuckle as it's been blooming for awhile now. Also have some hyacinth bean blooming now that survived the winter that they usually like, too.

April 2nd is when we were at the nature center and I saw some there.

Among a few other things, I have lantana and several different kinds of salvia blooming that always seems to be their favorites.

I saw my first hummer last week, going to my Salvia.

Last time we were at the nature center, I saw something I wasn't expecting: an alligator! We were hiking on the Riverbottom trail, and I saw its head poking up out of the water. We also saw a mama boar with her babies, on a different trail. So cute!
