The Migration is on. Reason we know is,just by the amount of Juice that is consumed daily out of our feeders. Here we never shut down our feeders. But this is Vegas,and the heaviest Migration is the Eastern Arizona area New Mexico as well as Texas.

Our feeders usually need replenishment weekly,notice today we will need going into the five day replenishment schedule.

Living in the Mid West,we pulled our feeders the middle of October,and put them back out when the first blossoms appear,usually mid April.

Great rule as to Spring,it moves at the rate of ten miles a day.
