We have had our feeder up for two weeks and had our first visitor just before the rain today.
Just had our first one show up just now in Southeast Broken Arrow. Our feeders have been up less than 24hr.
We have had them buzzing around like crazy here for the past week or so, southern Delaware County.
This little diehard was out braving the storm just a bit ago. Even though the pic is kinda wonky, you can tell that the wind was getting with it.

They'll show up at the same spot if you've had a feeder out for a few years. Having one in an area you frequently view will help (they would buzz our patio door if we were slow to put our feeder out).
I've also had 'em buzz my orange chain hoist when the shop doors were open. Bright colors are a definite attraction.
Little guys are showing up about every 20 minutes.
We have a feeder on our front porch and have 3 humming birds battling over it, its quite comical to watch them. I have nicknamed one bully, he seems to be the one that has claimed the feeder for his own and chases the other two away as soon as they try to slide in when they think hes not looking. This goes on all day long.
We just saw our first one at the feeder, north Piedmont.
I had one like that last year. He would perch in a nearby tree and chase other hummingbirds away from the feeder and out of my backyard. After a few minutes, he would return to his sentry perch. I never did figure out how far he chased them. There were 2 or 3 others he was defending against. I laughed several times when he was chasing one out of the yard when another would slip in for a quick drink.
