This has been a strange year in our hummingbird population. Our first
Ruby-throated arrived in the normal range of the first of April and a few more
slowly joined him but then some of them disappeared a week or two later and we
only had 15-20 of them rather than the 70-80 we have had at this time of year
since moving here in 2003. Females were noticeably fewer in number than the
males. We thought one explanation might be our neighbors across the street who
normally had out several hummer feeders selling their house and the new owner
having none. But yesterday afternoon we had an influx of hummers, mostly
females, and we estimate the numbers have increased to 40-50. We sure wish the
dearth of warblers in our yard this spring could likewise suddenly be reversed
with many latecomers.
