More hummingbirds

written by Drew Weber

Ruby-throated Hummingbirds have really increased at our feeder recently, presumably due to the fact that young have fledged and can now feed on their own. All the hummers that I have seen recently have been either adult females or immatures; the last adult male I remember seeing was back in May. Activity should only increase further as the birds begin to think about southbound migration.

    Nice click there Drew! We have seen so few hummers around here this summer. I am bummed. It’s just not our year I guess. I sure would like to join in the fun of catching one of the little buggers on film. ‘Till then I’ll be part of the cheer team!
