I think mine are gone, also. Haven't seen them all week but I'm leaving the feeder up til it gets colder-just in case!

Ours are gone. Took my feeders down.
|
I saw 2 hummers very briefly pass through my yard last week. In the 20 years I've lived here, it was only the 2nd time I've seen a hummingbird.
|
Nope, think they're gone for the season
|
ours are gone for the season. They say to leave them out an extra two weeks after you have seen the last one. a few transients stop by on their way through.
|
Yes, still have them around.
|
Still have them here also. They really love our hanging fushia's.

Ours have been gone for a week - we have had 4 feeders up and filled them up almost every day for the past month or so. Seems that the hummers were a little slow/late in coming this year - but when they did - WOW - we would go outside with a newly filled feeder and just hold it up and we would be swarmed with birds eating basically from our hands. One hummer sat on my thumb while I was holding the feeder - so neat!!!!! We are in southern MO>

Ours are gone too, just realized last weekend they were gone. I think they left at night, them and some birds fly at night to stay away from predators.
Leaving the feeders out will not keep them here, there or anywhere. Instinct tells them when to leave, the shorter days is one reason they leave. I usually have them around until the 10th of October. |
