LOL, you got my attention, Chuck. I'm not an expert, but I would put it somewhere else. Do you have any plants that might attract hummers? (anything with a tubular shaped flower). If so, I would hang it nearby. I got a feeder for the first time last year and hung it on a pole with a hanging basket of fuschia. I got visitors almost immediately.

I have my feeders up. I don't think it's too early. here's a link to this years hummer migration map with dates when they were first spotted. you can check your area.
