I'm not sure where that dot is, exactly, but it looks pretty darn close to me! I still don't have any feeders up. I really should get on that today.

Very unusual, I think, that western PA has gotten one before eastern PA. The Philadelphia area is a little warmer than the Pittsburgh area, and usually gets their hummingbirds first. Just a quirk this year, I guess.

Awesome Kristin...Good for you!!!!!!!!!!
If there was any passing through here yesterday, they probably took the major tale wind all the way up past us to Canada...
And now the winds are 30-35 mph out of the NNW...
At least there was another few sightings in Oklahoma...and with these winds, I can't believe it!!!

Kristin-- Good for you I see the dot in west PA and it must be close. At least it makes you feel good knowing at least one is that close to you. There are four dots in my state and Im stuck exactly midway between all 4. crazy crazy crazy feeling.

Thanks Susan Louise and Steve.

With those winds, you could be right, maybe they just blew straight over your house and into Canada. God help them! I can imagine them glancing wistfully down at your yard, Susan Louise, but the wind was blowing too hard for them to land!

to Nebraska, where the wind blows you upside down!

That system is supposed to come through here later tomorrow, bringing winds, snow and rain. I don't think it will accumulate much, now that the ground has warmed some. We'll see. Has it hit you hard, Steve? I know what you mean about having dots all around you, and no hummingbirds. I'm sure I'll be experiencing a lot of that in the next few weeks. I'm not too anxious, yet, but I know I'll start to go crazy as the month goes on.

You know, I STILL haven't put any feeders up--too busy with that darn garden. I worked like a maniac all day, trying to fill in a hole I'd dug out by the road, an extension of my sun garden. With all the plants I ordered, no way were the sun lovers all going to fit in the confines of the old garden. I was determined to get it done before this crazy weather comes.

You know, Lily hasn't checked in in awhile. For all we know, that could be her dot we're seeing in western PA!

Just checked Journey North. That sighting was only about 6 miles from me at my mom's house. It's probably only a mile away from my apartment. It was in Allegheny Cemetery, the same location as last year's first Pittsburgh sighting. Hmm. I wonder who is reporting this? It's apparently not at a person's home, but right in the cemetery. Weird. I wonder if it's the same bird!

Well, so much for me getting the first Pittsburgh dot!

After the Pittsburg report, there are reports from Fallsington, Flourtown, and Kunkletown

Wow Fallsington is less than a mile from my house!! I'm excited!

Flourtown is not to far from me. I saw two reports on the Pa list serve one in Lehigh county the other in Monroe they both said they were migrating thru. I wonder if migration is earlier this year as I took a photo of an unidentified bird last month and alot of people thought it was a northern parula which I never see until May

It is so good to see all this excitment about the arrivals.
