Is there any information on hummingbird populations and their activity after
breeding in our area?
I had a fair number of hummingbirds during spring migration showing up
feeding and then moving on. Then a few pairs stayed around during breeding
season with a few individuals showing up at my feeders on a regular basis.
About the last week of July activity picked up dramatically with any where
from 6 to 20 or more zooming around fighting over the feeders constantly
from dawn to dusk. Sometimes I see mostly mature males dominating the
feeders, sometimes mostly immature males, other times females chasing &
feeding. Are these still locally bred birds and are the same birds showing
up daily or are these birds moving in and out of our area and if so, where
are they moving in and out from?
Does anyone have any helpful information?
Thanks,
