It seems to be slowing down here in Denham because there's more nectar in the feeders now.

They've been swarming my feeder for about a month and still are.

Noticed the same thing in Central. I see an isolated one every so often, but a drastic drop off from just a couple days ago.

Our crowd of birds, between neighbor’s and my feeders, is way down this last week. Still and odd one or two around, but the crowd seems to have moved on.

Rain and cooler temps have resulted in many new blooms on roses and such that were dormant in the heat and drought. They may be off eating that natural stuff.

5 feeders
Have 3, maybe 4 this morning

There seems to be more in the evenings

We lost one this year, not sure if it ran into wall or what but it couldn’t fly or move very well
Last weekend I had been watching them swarm & noticed one of the feeders bouncing, one had managed to get stuck between feeder & perch
Used a fly swatter to push him up & he took off

Been sitting on the back patio for about 15 minutes. Counted at least 5 buzzing around at the feeder. They move so darn fast it’s difficult to get a good picture of them.


In St Landry parish just north of Sunset. Don’t know how much longer they’ll be around.
