Last hbird seen here was Oct 3, wife took in the feeders. They are usually out of here mid Sept. Waiting for the geese fly over then cold weather will set in.
I put my feeders out today, i should have had them out a couple of weeks ago. We just had i think our last 32F night a week ago.
We have Anna huming birds year round, Rufus should turn up anyday now.
I was at the local dump a few days back and tried to count Bald Eagles, I estimated 50 in one tree alone !

We have ruby throated, they leave middle of oct and return about now. I put one of my feeders out in an open field, hopefully to be spotted as they come back.
Wow wish we had eagles here in those numbers. Just one here and there.
None here yet, just robins. We’ll be watching.
I have one or two hummingbirds that never left. I am up in the Southern California mountains and left one of my feeders out last fall as I still saw a few birds on it each day. I have even seen a bird hovering around it waiting for the nectar to thaw after an overnight freeze.
I also have a crazy woodpecker who thinks he is a hummingbird and hangs upside down on it and swings it enough that the nectar slops out of the tiny holes and into the fake flower shaped parts and then sticks his beak in for a drink. Last year I didn't start to see several hummingbirds at a time until late May/early June.

Hooray! Saw 1 male ruby throat at my feeder. So i placed some nesting material out. I bought a pound of raw cotton. Will see if they use it.
Check out this jumping spider trying to attack these baby hummingbirds.

Awesome Thank you
Our first Hummingbird got back on May 4, only 3 days later than last year. We had the feeder freshly stocked up. We’ll have them for the very special next four months. 
I had what I thought was a hummingbird visiting my front garden this week, well it turned out to be a hummingbird moth. Pretty darn neat!
Still only have seen the occasional couple of birds, i had 8+ last year.
Every year a hummingbird comes up to me to let me know I’d better get the feeder out. Most of the time I’m sitting in the garage or on the deck and he hovers in front of my face.Our first Hummingbird got back on May 4, only 3 days later than last year.

They will find them wherever they are. No need to put in open field. I am in San Diego area and have them year round with seasonal peaks. Those 5 lb (now 4 lb) bags of sugar don't last long with my wife's love of birds. Does Costco sell a 25 or 50 lb bag?
I see him, should I give it away?
