They were disappointed that we hadn't put out the nectar yet. We are ready for them now.

Them with migration offhand. I know very little about birds. I suppose it is just that bird migration typically evokes images of large flocks of birds flying across the sky.

In the spring, they return. We see more of them in the fall because in the spring, when they fly across the Gulf of Mexico, many wont make it when they encounter north winds .
