Our hummers are still here. I think it is the Cypress plants plus 2 feeders.
I will check with neighbor with 9 sugar water feeders tomorrow and see how many
hummers he has on deck.
One thing we do not have for sure is one of my top 10 favorites, the Avocet.
I heard a Swallow Tail Kite was someplace south of Chicago and that is way
north and out of range, although not for 75-100 years ago.

of Franklin County, Ce Ci. I’m not refilling the feeders several times a day
any more, but two and three birds are still on them when I look. They’ll be
gone soon enough and then we’ll miss seeing and hearing them.

Subject: [birdky] My hummingbirds are gone!
I haven't seen a single hummingbird this a.m. any time I've looked. For a
couple of weeks, there were probably a dozen or so (hard to tell) clamoring
to get their fill at five feeders out I had out. Then they began dwindling
in numbers and now seem to be traveling. Godspeed my friends. I also had
honey bees feeding at my hummingbird feeders late this year, which made me
happy. And the hummingbirds didn't seem to mind - they mind each other more
than they minded the bees! Have a few bees this a.m. - and a
butterfly.Speaking of butterflies, I often put out food for them too,
especially at this time of year. Smashed bananas and stale beer is what I
was told to fix for them.And because of lack of rain in my neck of the woods
and heat, I'm watering and doing some supplemental feeding of wildlife, too.
