I thought all of mine were gone…today, they are back! Must be another wave of migration.

Yeah, I’ve got a few still hanging around.

Seems like they’re all females, or maybe just the same one.

I got a bump from somewhere else. Was ready to drop down to two feeders. Looks like more days of at least five.

I can’t help but wonder how much more nectar they have to consume just to keep up all the damn fighting they do all day LOL

If everyone just chilled out and took turns they’d all be fat and happy

I thought mine had left but I had at least a dozen this morning. I refilled 6/8 feeders.

I have often thought that natural selection would be against it, but there must be an actual benefit.

I’m down to 5 of 7 feeders
I’ve refilled 4 of them twice today
I have a feeling the numbers will drop after this weekends front

I still have the same two female Ruby Throats fighting over one feeder. I refilled it yesterday. There are more that come through when migrating back south because the offspring that hatched over the summer are with the group that went north in the spring.

We've got six feeders out and they were still buzzing them yesterday morning. Haven't checked today, but we've been enjoying them.

EDIT: None this morning that I could see.

I had only 4 or 5 hummers today. Most of the day it was only 2 or 3. There must be some stragglers coming down.

My ol mom has been loving her hummingbirds showing up. What time of the year do they end up migrating away for good?

I am seeing only a few left up here at my three feeders. I will take up one of the feeders today. It is advised to take in the feeders on October 15th.

I maybe have 3 birds now.

There's no good reason to take them down.
