David,
I still have Hummers, yet fewer of them. On Sunday Aug. 31st. we had
seven buzzing at one time around 2 of our feeders on the deck. Monday the
1st there seemed to be fewer. On this past Sunday the 7th I did see three
at one time, none of which were adult males. Today I have seen 2 at a time
come to the feeders, three of which I can see from my sunroom. I still have
8 feeders throughout the yard. I did fill a feeder that is in the lilac
bush and one on my shop window (extention of garage) that is under the eaves
which were almost empty.
On Thursday 9/4 we cleaned and refilled the hospital feeders. Did not
see or hear any Hummers there. We probably will take those feeders down
this week. We may leave a few up due to migration along the Ct. River
Valley.
Yes it seems early. I have seen Hummers here at my house as late as
Sept.17th in recent years.
I did have a nice encounter with a young male hummer, throat feathers
whitish with black streak through them. I tipped up a feeder and he came as
I was within two feet of him. He fed, fluttered, and then lit on the perch
to feed again. He did not seem a bit afraid.
