I dont know where you get the information on sightings in the Chicago 
area. I live in the south suburbs. I put up humingbird feeders so
do my parents (2 blocks away), and my inlaws (.5 mile away), we
all get hummingbirds. The Chicago Audubon Society in a early spring
paper, had a article on them in this area along with a questionaire
to fill out about there summer activities. They are more common
than you think.
