When to Put out Hummingbird Feeder?

You should hang your hummingbird feeders 2 weeks before their estimated arrival date. Look at the hummingbird migration dates of previous years in your area to determine their estimated arrival. The hummingbird migration starts as early as February in the Southern United States to late May into Canada.

What month do you put out hummingbird feeders?

March Is the Month

For most backyard birders, March is the best time to put out hummingbird feeders. The first of March is a good time to put out nectar feeders in southern areas where hummingbirds arrive earlier, and the end of the month is a good guideline for feeding hummingbirds further north.

TIP 2: Hummingbird feeders should be 10-15 feet from cover

They're all about conserving energy when they can. That's why it's best to place a feeder 10 to 15 feet from a tree, shrub or other appropriate hiding place. Doing so gives them a place to rest and stay out of the sun.
