Jim,
Read about torpor. Read about the tenacity of hummingbirds. Having been a
"landlord" of an Allen's and Rufous Hummingbird from Nov-April during 2
season's I have no concern's of the weather impacting their survival. Perhaps
their migration may slow but if they are here they are fine.

Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are quite capable of enduring freezing weather. If
you happen to have one attending a feeder before Saturday night, just take the
feeder in at dark and put it back out before first light. The 1:4 sugar/water
solution does not begin to freeze until the temp dips down to 26-27 degrees.

But I am not putting out my feeder until Sunday, because of the freeze threat.
I don’t want the nectar to freeze and ruin the feeder. I wonder if the freeze
will harm the birds. They do fly south in the autumn for a reason. Jim Blowers
