Way less than last year.

Normally they are gone from here by the end of September.

Strange weather might have been a factor...it’s still in the mid 90s up here.

About half of mine have left. I still have about 40 or more birds working my feeders. I expect them to be mostly gone within a couple of weeks.

I've never had that many at once so I'm not sure how long they stay in my area.


Most I ever have is 3. And I haven't seen them since last Friday. I'm sad.

As I was refilling the feeder this AM, I had a female ruby throat hovering about three feet away as if to say, “hurry up old man. I’m hungry.”

Hummer feeders is the wife's thing. Says there's either a few more hummers around or the ones we've had all summer are making more feeder visits. Expects it won't be for another couple weeks before the numbers shoot way up as the migrants pass thru. They all will, hopefully, have the proper documentation with them.


Fishing, a man knows a serenity of soul and peace of mind that he finds in doing nothing else, and it makes no difference whether or not he catches anything. The mind of a true fisherman is not on petty subjects.

I usually put a couple of feeders out around the 1st of April. The spring migration is not nearly as thick as it is in the fall. They seem to trickle north gradually. Here is a map for this spring. You can keep checking back to see the reported sightings.
