How is the hummingbird activity where you live?

I live in Atlanta, and this is, by a long shot, the slowest season I’ve had in the ten or twelve years I’ve been putting out a feeder.

FL Panhandle here, no noticeable difference. It's always slow in the summer. Lots of naturally available food, with females focusing on raising the brood. I have visits morning and dusk, but not during the day.
Give it a month and the migration will be coming back through, as well as juveniles learning the feeders.

Central Mississippi. I’ll see 1 about once a week.

I see a couple daily in our back yard feeding on our feeders and our hummingbird attracting desert plants.
The Arizona high country is thick with them in the summertime. This is directly in line with migratory routes south. I've seen 20 at a feeder before.

Hot and cold in my area of New Orleans. Some years there are several that come around and other years, nada-----and I have a large vegetable garden, many flowering plants in pots and also in the ground.

I have 1 male and a female now. That's it. Last year it was a lot more.

Pretty good in north Bossier. I've see a lot flying around, but only two at my feeders as one them is an aggressive a-hole that chases the others off.

Started coming in early May and now I see them fly up and away. I thought my sweet water was off, so I cleaned and re did. Still no landings. Either the water is too hot or the bird in the hanging plant by the feeder that made a nest scares them off.

A bunch of them came to the feeder. We had rain finally and they came in after the cool off. I just saw a video that they sleep upside down hanging in a tree.

None yet for me in Nola. It’s very disappointing.

I live on the Indiana-Michigan state line. Activity is not terrible, not great.

Florida Panhandle - I see a male 3 or 4 times a day and a female around once a day. Slower than last year. But yesterday a male came to the feeder and was immediately attacked by 2 other hummingbirds. I hear them and see them at flowers more than on the feeders. Studies have also shown that hummingbirds eat a lot more insects than people realize and we have more than our share of small insects so I think that they are just not short of food here.

We used to feed them, and we always had several actively visiting our feeders. When my cat brought one of them in, the feeders came down.
