Please leave at least one feeder up all winter. Tennessee has had Rufous, Allen's, Anna's Calliope, Broad-tailed, Black-chinned that have wintered there. My wife Martha and I have banded, documented and studied these wintering hummers there for over a dozen years. Current research on these western species is being done by your Chris Sloan, Portia McMillan, Sandy Bevins and their associates. If I can assist with info on hummers, please feel free to contact me. If you would like info on Ruby-throated and our work with hummers, please send me any postal mailing address. It is free info. Good luck and God Bless.
