I have had a similar experience here.  We were swarming with hummingbirds by the end of the first week of May and they were here in large numbers for about 3 weeks.  I've seen only one in the last week.  Where did they all go?

Subject: [UVB] Vanished Hummingbirds



​On May 10th, (a bit late this year), I put out our hummingbird feeder and within hours, there was a pair here feeding eagerly.



However, 7-10 days ago, they vanished.



I always boil the sugar water and I clean the feeder well at each refill.  Am disappointed and mystified as to what has become of them - both of them.  And why has some other couple not come along?



Any suggestions?  Thanks.
