Our Hummer situation here is really wild.  There has to be 20+ birds but counting them is impossible.  They empty the feeder every ~2 hours.

   We have not put them out this year but usually put out 3 feeders on the porch. We'd have a couple dozen feeding at a time. With that many its like a big flock of turkeys milling around and just about impossible to get an accurate count. What we find is the hens can feed any time but the roosters will not allow another rooster to feed at his feeder and he spends all his time chasing the other roosters away.

I went out early this morning and took all the feeders and a hanging basket flowering plant down.

The plant went into the recycle bin and the feeders were washed and put away for the Winter.

I figured taking them down early in the day would be easier on the hummers, since they have the rest of the day to find something else!

Haven't seen any in a few days!

Our weather changed last night and we have many less today.  I guess that they continued on another leg of their migration.

   As of now ours are still here, eating and fighting.

We still have them in WI.  They may be down in MS later... but still in the 70's through next week.

One feeder will last all day today.

Yup, It is 65° this morning so we will soon see.  There were about 5-6 yesterday PM before they went to roost.  I filled the feeder just in case there are some stragglers this AM.

   I filled the feeder yesterday, and today it is about 3/4 full. They have definitely slowed down. I think there are only 2 left.

My feeder is down about ½ from this morning's fill up.  At least those that are still here are enjoying it.

We are 65° again this morning and the feeder is full.  They only emptied one yesterday.  It looks like maybe 6-8 buzzing around.

  Well, I think they have officially flew the coop. I hope Mrs. Pats BP is better. If you need anything holler.

They are still drinking one feeder per day here.

Apparently another flight of Hummers arrived because I am back to my refilling chores.   :)

Yesterday we had scattered frost at 6:00AM.

Just a sign of what's to come.

Pretty soon, the ole LT40 will be parked in the back garage for the Winter.

I reckon this 60° weather sent all of our Hummers further South, but at least those that visited us left with a full belly.  We really enjoyed them while they were here.   :)

I am glad that the feeder is still out because we have a couple of late arrivals this AM.  They should appreciate a fill-up before continuing their journey South.

Neighbor says they are still imbibing here in WI, so you can save some "energy drink" for when they finally decide to leave and make that 1000 mile flight.  ;D

I have not refilled the feeder in a week, but there are a few still hanging around, so I will keep it for them.   :)
