Hummingbirds of the Carolinas

Every year the hummingbirds show up - if you have plenty of flowers, or plenty of feeders. These are a few of my favorites, all taken at our home in the Charlotte, NC area. Their schedule is amazingly consistent - the first arrivals spotted between April 2 and 12 and the last departures spotted between October 6 and 15 over the last 12 years.
