All Quiet at the feeder

Well it looks like all the birds are gone for the winter. In fact they stayed longer, but then they left in a hurry. They were here one day 20 birds or so. Then the next day there was only one. Then in a couple of days he left as well. Then a few days later the weather turned cold and has been cool for about a week now. The fact that there are no stragglers makes me wonder if winter is going to show up early or be worse this year. Will be waiting to see. Well I won't be writing much between now and next spring when the cute little hummers return, which is usually mid to late Feb. or March.

Hummingbirds headed south for winter.

Well they stayed 3 weeks longer than in previous years but they have finally moved on southward headed for their winter home. Wish I would have had time to take some pictures or video cause it was really busy this year. Also a couple of the birds got quite chubby, close to the size of a ping pong ball, almost hard to believe those little wings could lift the large body of the real chubby birds.
I will keep fresh nectar out for a couple more weeks just in case there are a few stragglers.
