Hummingbirds

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.

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.

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.
