Where are all the hummingbirds this year?

I have had a feeder out since April and have seen very few.

Same here. Had some passer byes but must have moved on up.

None here, but we usually see very few in the spring for some reason. Fall is a different story, we see a lot.

Haven’t seen near as many as we usually have. Saw very few during the migration and even less now. Have three feeders out in their usually favorite place, we sometimes would have as many as nine feeders. Most of my wife’s nectar plants, butterfly host plants and hummingbird gardens were destroyed during Ida, but she is working hard getting them all back up. We also lost 11 large trees. It has to be the lack of food and habitat over the wide area of destruction in SE Louisiana is the cause.

They probably aren't really visiting feeders right now, anyway. Lot's of wildflowers have been in bloom for a while now, and if they have a chick to feed they are catching bugs too.

I was seeing a ton of them when turkey hunting at the end of April in North MS. I think I've only seen a few since then at my feeder, and none here in the last few weeks in Collierville, TN

My understanding is that when they are feeding chicks they go more to an insect diet. Leave them out, they will be back.

I saw a ton at the cabin in Arkansas last week. I never put the feeders up, but they were looking for them.

We went from one last week to 4 as of today. I upped the feeders accordingly. Expecting a huge number this fall since this will be the third year here to put up multiple feeders.

I got my usual 2 in the spring. Picked up 3 more about 3 weeks ago. I have the smallest on I have ever seen this year looks like a cricket with wings.

We've had our usual hummingbird activity throughout the summer. Hard to get a good count of how many birds but we put out 2 to 3 gallons of nectar per week May thru August. Keep four feeders active and add a few more when the south bound migration kicks in. The first two weeks of September are always crazy with migrators stopping on their way thru. Fun to watch.

Just started showing up on the Mississippi gulf coast. Had 4 today at our feeders.

Saw a 100+ in west Alabama on Saturday. Said they showed up a couple of weeks ago.

I’ve seen quite a few at my pods feeder.
Posted on 8/31/22 at 8:33 am to Spankum
We are just starting to get a few here in south Texas. It's usually in September when we have the most.

I have seen a couple. A male comes in the morning and every other day or so a female will come in the evenings. Female will chirp like crazy at first if we are on the back deck but after a few minutes ignores us and goes to the feeder. Neat to watch how quick they come and go.
