My numbers in Parker County seem about normal and the feeders at New York Hill in Thurber seem to be packed as usual.

Very slow at our house in Young county this year. Went about three weeks without seeing any, but a couple are back now. We put up a purple Martin house for the first time this year and have close to 14 right now, so that’s been fun and interesting. Gives me a reason to break out the old pellet gun and do a little sparrow control too.

We have a pair that are staying around, they probably have nested and hatched at least one clutch so far. My daughter saw the smallest hummer we have seen so assume it was a new chic. We have out a couple of feeders and also we planted some coral honeysuckle they really like.
Even thought this is nesting pair they still run each other off the feeders, they just can't stop themselves I don't think.

I have three feeders that I "try" to keep up with. With a crazy work schedule, being on nights for the summer, I sometimes let the feeders go too long without changing the solution, I'm sure in the summer you really need to change it out every couple days. We traditionally have quiet a few throughout the spring and summer, sit out back for an hour in the evening and see 5-10 hitting the feeders. Started off good this spring, then the sightings dropped off over the past month or so. They are still around, just not hitting the feeders in the evening like normal. I don't know if it was the freeze, fewer flowering plants, or what. I know I have two big altheas that are stunted and have zero blooms on them. Typically my hummingbirds hit my flowing plants hard along with the feeders.
