Late March/Early April is the usual.

Here in upstate NY, Memorial Day is the rule of thumb.

March/April seems to be the recommended time - so boil your water, add your sugar and get your camera ready.

A quote from a hummer site:

Feeders can be left up year round. Ruby-throated hummingbirds are neotropical migrants that will migrate even if feeders are left up, and some individuals or other unusual hummingbird species may visit a feeder during the winter. Most ruby-throats leave North Carolina and other southern states by mid October and dont return until late March.
