Where are all the hummingbirds this year?

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.

if they have a chick to feed they are catching bugs too.

This is the yearly answer. I see it every summer because while I do stop feeding, I have flowers they love. They just disappear for a bit for the sake of the eggs/babies. When the summer disappearance is over, I then start ramping up the feeders.

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

Just saw one at my feeder.

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.

Over the last two weeks, they've really picked up their activity here in B'ham. I had one feeder out mid July and only an occasional bird would come by. Today I have 5 feeders out and birds are chasing each other away from all of them.

My cousin in KY said her hummingbird activity is almost over. They don't keep their feeders out past Labor Day.
