Just a note:  This is the first year I have NOT had a resident Black-chinned Hummingbird in my yard since I have been putting out feeders, probably about 18 or more years.  There was a male BCHU visiting briefly for two days in May, but hasn't been seen since.  Hopefully, things will change as the summer approaches and I will have a resident and other hummingbird visitors.

Hello All,
On June 13th, I posted that I had not had a resident Black-chinned Hummingbird at my feeders for the first time in approximately 18 years.  Yesterday, after the recent terrible heat and high winds, a male Black-chinned Hummingbird arrived and staked out my feeders acting territorial.  He was visiting the feeders regularly, today; hopefully, he will stay around and find a female soon.  

Thank you Paula and Pam for your responses.
