I am in SE VA and it has been so hot and rainy here, I took my feeder down. I was afraid to sicken the little guys with spoiled nectar. I miss them!

Look forward to their arrival every Spring! It is sad to see them leave, know the cold is on the way.
We have them into the fall, mostly the females, and yearlings who need to build up a bit for the trip, and the arrivals from the north.
What amazing gifts they are!

We have 2 now 3 female Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds vying for our feeder. They hang out in the dogwood most of the day and hit the feeder throughout the day.

I'm in southern NM and have been surprised at how many hummers have hung around here all Summer. We usually see lots in early Spring heading north and in late Fall heading south ... a very small number usually hangs around through the Summer. This year, we've had at least 10-12 in the yard almost every day all Summer. I don't know if the local population had a baby boom or they're really liking the plants that have exploded in part of the garden ... what ever it is, I'm glad they're hanging around.

Haven't seen any more since last week. Seems they're leaving earlier and earlier. 2 yrs ago they stayed through September, then last year they left end of August, and now mid August. I wonder if it has anything to with storms brewing in Gulf?? Last year, a couple days before DORIAN they disappeared and didn't return after the storm, which we in Florida did not get anyway.
Miss seeing them so active on my feeders☹

@fthunt I've noticed my Hummingbirds are dwindling in amount. My Dad loved his Hummers and would always say that they leave on Labor Day, and he told me they would come to his picture window and nod as if to thank him for all the summer nectar he provided. Very sweet memories for me.

West Michigan here. Average last sighting in my area is around the 15th of this month, so we only have them around another week on average. I make them new syrup every 3 days and add a little more sugar to the mix for extra energy for them. They are very territorial now--guarding their food source. Just watched a special last night in PBS on hummers. It talked in part about about why they are that way. I noticed today that they are even fighting off yellow jackets. Always miss seeing them and hearing their high-pitched squeaky sound.
