Male Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are normally the first to arrive in PA. They'll begin to arrive sometime in mid to late April searching for potential nesting/breeding sites for the females, who'll arrive later on. However, some of these males are simply passing through, as they continue on their migration north to other states. PA's official date for Hummingbirds is May 1st. I'd suggest putting your hummingbird feeder out the 2nd or last weekend in April. Try not to get discouraged if you don't see any hummers at first. Hummingbirds typically prefer temperatures in the 70s and up, which are more common in PA later on in May and June. However, If you keep you feeder clean and with fresh nectar, I gaurantee you'll have hummers buzzing your feeder before too long.

It depends on where you live. Hummingbirds are flower feeders and consequently tend to migrate when flowers will be in bloom.
