Probably a couple days, just like any birds. Just make sure they're visible from the sky. It's best to put them up before they arrive in the Spring, but if you have birds around your house, they'll probably hit on your feeders.
Does it take them a while to learn about new feeder locations?

I guess they dont much care for the Illinois climate?
Illinois -- Ruby-throats usually arrive in April. They are usually gone after the end of September.
