Getting Ready for the Hummingbirds It’s that time in the season! Get ready to help out the early returning hummingbirds. There have been sightings already, according to this map. This is a screen shot from hummingbirdcentral.com as of April 25th, with Wolfville & Weymouth tagged in the Annapolis Valley. The first arrivers are usually male. It’s normally customary to get your hummingbird feeders out around Mother’s Day (this year that would be May 9th), but there have been sightings of the birds already, and it’s still pretty cold for them to be here, but you can help them out!
