Wrong, 
They dont show up at the feeders until Memorial Day.
They disappear mid September. They must not be
able to take the cold nights. When I first fed them
I thought that I might wrongly encourge them to
stay if I did not remove the feeder. They were
smarter than that and just disappeared one September day.
