We have seen one female but I think she was just passing through. We do have two males that have been hanging around for a week.

Oops, spoke too soon. She landed while I was tying the last message. First time we’ve seen her since last weekend. She is noticeably bigger than the males.

I've seen at least one female, and 2 very small males. I'm surprised the female is so much bigger.

I've not noticed that before.

Had a couple male for about a week now. Saw first female today. Don’t really keep track but seems later this year to me.

Put mine out about a week ago. Same one chasing off all the others last year showed up first. The two others take turns let him leave chasing one, the other one is right there to get a drink. When he gets back and chases that one off the other one comes in. Interesting to watch.

We have two pairs for sure. Mrs dlbleak sits on the patio with her binos looking for distinguishing markings. She has named the two males rascal and dodger. The two females are holly and Polly. Holly is easy to tell cause she’s built like weight lifter.
