Mine are back too, saw a beautiful hen Sat. I put the feeders up St Paddys day, they come a few days before or after. No red dye either I have a window feeder & 1 little male always looks there first & scolds me if it's not there! Did you know they can live 5-10 years??? Amazing considering how far they travel. The displays & fights by the males are so fun to watch, like old ww2 arial battles on tv! the tttzzu tzzu sounds. The residents are usually gone by the 4th of July then just the straggler travelers from farther N on their way S. Next are the barn/cliff swallows, (late april)then I know summer is close! Jody
