Just before the winter starts they are found and they disappear during summer and the sever cold. It must be same in Florida too.

Its definitely time to put them up. We have had reports of Ruby-throats in Texas for almost a month and we are on the same time frame as Florida. Be sure to have some flowering plants around, as this will help draw them in. There are certain species of flowers that are better, such as fuchsia, trumpet vines and other tubular shaped blooms. Good luck!

PS its not necessary to buy the store bought nectar. Just mix one part sugar to four parts boiling water, let it cool and use that.

Yep, saw a ruby throated the other week here in northern Brevard County, they're around. Try planting flowers for them though, and if you put up a feeder remember to keep your fake nectar fresh, if it starts to ferment or gets any bacteria, etc. growing in it, you can kill your hummingbirds.

By this date (April 4th), there should be sightings of ruby-throated hummingbirds in northern Ohio; therefore they should already be in your Florida vacinity.

Its a good time now to put them out,it will be a little while longer before they get here . theres not as many as there used to be, they travel to Africa and a few years ago there was a huge storm and it killed many of them over the ocean.ain't they wonderful little critters though
