Hi Les,
We're still feeding lots of hummers here in Woodbine, southern Carroll
County. I am still re-filling feeders every other day, and have loads of
wildflowers (as well as a beautiful Pineapple Sage) in bloom, so they are very active
still. Most are young males, at least the ones I have been viewing at the
feeders.
One night last week, just about dusk, we watched at least 8 at the
four-fountains feeder, queuing up to feed, and it held 4 hummers at a time just
before dark. This was on a night when a front had passed, and the temp was
dropping rapidly. I figured most would be gone the following day, but many are still
around.
I will keep the feeders up and filled.
