Looking back two years these were opening further on into April

We can also anticipate sooner than usual some other markers of special interest. These include the first migrants, especially the towhee, brown thrasher, and hummingbird.

In recent years, it’s been May Day when we’ve welcomed their arrivals, but perhaps for 2020 the red-flowered feeders should be in place by mid-April.
And that coincides pretty closely with the time to start bringing in the sunflower-seed feeders each night so that the morning doesn’t show them splashed onto the grounds…
