Hummingbirds

Jdarby · 05-04-2022, 07:18 PM

Our first hummer of the year just made a showing here on Long Island. I didn’t see it at either of our feeders but rather it stopped at our deck sliding door to say hello before darting off!

We had a similar experience yesterday at our deck's slider! We then put our feeder out but didn't see any hummers today.

No hummingbirds at my feeders yet. Plenty of Downy Woodpeckers though.

First sighting about 10 minutes ago.

First one yesterday in Wolfeboro .

Finally. I have noticed the level of nectar going down over the last few days, but never saw a Hummingbird at the feeder until this morning. Welcome back.

That’s funny! Maybe it stopped at your slider and was saying, “OK…I’m here…where’s the food!?” LOL

There were several hummers at our feeder yesterday, so word must have gotten out that the food's back!

We saw one yesterday. He wanted to come in the door.

Saw my first today in Wolfeboro.

Maybe it’s my imagination, but the hummingbird activity at my feeder seems to have slowed way down. Have they started their migration?

We haven't seen a slowdown at our feeder yet. Yesterday was one of the busiest days we've seen, actually. Could be the migration has started, though, and the additional birds we saw yesterday could be transients on their way south.

Still seeing plenty in Tuftonboro.

upthesaukee · 08-28-2022, 11:07 PM

Not at my place. They are eating (drinking) me out of house and home. Still hitting my flowers too.

Filled my feeder this morning for probably the last time this season. Only saw one bird this morning.

Merrymeeting · 08-31-2022, 12:55 PM

I have 4 feeders around my property and I've been filling them like crazy for the past few weeks. No lack of birds here.
