Looks like the hummingbirds cleared out of here. We’re just north of the border with Northern Idaho. Keeps your feeders topped up in case they need a snack! 
Hummingbird Migration
- Thread starter Snagglefoot
- Start date
Southern missouri 35 miles from Arkansas we've been getting travelers for week to ten days. Peak season went through 10 lbs of sugar a week.
I see the Canada geese practicing their flight patterns at our golf course.
Wont be long before they head south to Florida and such.
You're welcome - gifts coming from the north !

40 years ago I met a family in Europe. They hosted me for a few days as their son was readying himself for his military conscription.
I sent gifts upon returning home. The father was into stamp collecting. I assembled a representative selection of stamps with regional themes.
I included the pale blue Migratory Bird agreement (USA-Canada) stamp. A 3 center as I recall.

I think they will be here a good bit longer. I will probably keep my feeders out until early Dec.
I've heard they can be hear round in N.C. but I wonder if that's in costal regions. I've never seen one here in Dec on.

I just filled my feeder with sugar water and put it back out. I had to take it in because of IDA.
As soon as I put it back out there the hummingbirds were starting to fly around, waiting for me to go inside so they could eat.

Which breed of hummingbird do you have there?
I read online that La. can have up to 12 different species of hummingbirds.
We have the Ruby-Red Throated hummingbirds. The male has an Emerald green back with a forked tail. The female has a green back and tail feathers that are banded white, black, and grey-green. I have seen both at the feeder, but never at the same time.
They're from Mexico and Central America.
Thats what i have.
I have some bullys, that stake out and guard the feeder. I have 4 around the house.
I have a few bullies as well. They seem to take turns. They hang out on my rose bush near the feeder. I find it fun to watch them.
I am in the Southern California mountains. All summer I would typically only get one or two birds at the feeder at a time. Then, this past week it's like a whole flock found my house. I get six or eight birds at a time at each feeder feeding or hovering around waiting their turn. I am having to refill two feeders three times a day. I'd better go and buy another 5 lb bag of sugar today.
They seem to migrate here late in the season, I don't see any until around June but still have a few when the first snowfall hits in late October or mid-November.

Dallas here, I keep the nectar fresh, but I didn't see any of my little buddies yesterday. It's still hot as Satan's hot tub here, not sure what's going on. Hope nothing happened to them. They're the only things that make me smile when I work from home.
They are still here in Central N.C. I keep feeder out till I see no more of them. Can't tell local from transient.
A bit blurry as it was getting dark, 3 on one of my feeders.
I think my hummingbirds have mostly left, just a straggler or 2. I will keep my feeders out till middle to end of nov.
I will probably move a couple of feeders to the open field where they can be spotted from the air!

Were having just travellers 3 maybe 4 a day just early mornings and dusk
Have not seen any in 2 days. I will probably go from 4 feeders to just 2 out for the ones that might migrate by.
Question is, would it be better to have my red feeders out in an open field where they can be seen from the air? Or are the migrating birds used to seeing them near the house? My field is surrounded by woods.
