I'm in Indian River County and my 1 hummer that usually visits is back. I think it's a female and she showed up yesterday and today.

Marilyn,
Glad to hear she's back. Hopefully, there'll be more this year.

Marilyn - I also have a female who now seems to be a year-round resident. Though I am not sure if it is the same bird or not. But there is always one in my yard off and on throughout the day all year long. First year I saw her, she showed up in November and stayed until April. This past year she never left.
John - Congrats! Way cool! I don't know if you have a yard, but if so, plant some good hummer nectar plants. My hummer now prefers the plant blooms over the feeder. I stopped using the feeder. My hummer likes Cape Honeysuckle blooms, Firespike blooms, and Red Shrimp Plant blooms. Plus a host of butterfly nectar plants that I grow in my garden beds. I get a kick out of watching her go from bloom to bloom to drink the nectar.
Neat having a hummingbird come to your feeder!
