I've had a significant drop off in the last week in the number of birds at the feeders. Otherwise in the last month there had been an enormous increase. I've never had remotely close to that many hummingbirds before, so I wondered if they were travelers headed south that stayed for a few weeks or what?

Cheers, Tim

Cheer up indeed! Let's all just enjoy them for as long as we have them! Ma Nature gave us here a very long, very hot, very dry Summer they showed up as early as May & June & left as soon as heat-wave landed!

They've been back in increased numbers & are lingering ~ putting on quite an aerial show as awesome as the F16 Air show in Iowa ~ these shows are on daily, for as long as Ma Nature lets them!

Hopefully they have increased w/ their boods in their stay & w/ the known great memories they have next season will be even more awesome!!!

Indeed *Cheers!*

ditas,

I like to think our gardens and feeders are a help, tipping the scales in the hummingbirds' favor.
