Where are the hummingbirds?

10 years ago

I've yet to see a single hummer this year... I've usually been divebombed by them for weeks by now. Anyone else have similar experience this year? Thoughts?

I have 1 that comes around but that's it. Last yr we had a ton of them. We shall see if the come back. So your not the only one. Where are u located? In about 45 min west of dickson.

I have about 5 that show up every year but this year only 2, and they seem to have left. A friend at church usually has 30 - 40 every year and has only seen 2 this year. It's very sad.

As an update we have recently had three hummers coming to our feeders. Before the last couple weeks we had only seen one occasionally.. So happy to finally see a few.
