We're definitely down in numbers, filling the feeders much less. There is constant activity but not what we've had before.

We did have a nest on our patio and the two young ones left last week. That was the third year in a row, same area.

Neither bluebirds or hummers this year and we've always had them here at a weekend place close to Winchester, VA. A disappointment. Wonder why the decline?

Last weekend I had a little hen trapped in my carport I had to climb a ladder to the joists then get a net.

I got a photo of her and let her go.

I've only seen a couple on the feeder, but now that my crocosmias are starting to bloom more are showing up. In a couple weeks there'll be a mess of them around here.

Yesterday I was out on the deck watering and was standing with my head about a foot away from the feeder when I heard buzzing. I looked over and one was feeding. He then hovered over right in front of my face. We just looked at each other for around thirty seconds and off he went. Never had that happen before as usually they are a little more skittish. Pretty cool.

The numbers are way down here as well. I see a couple in the morning and that's about it. I have no idea why.

We have hummingbirds in the Big Bend this summer. It's been kind of dry so maybe they didn't try to press on to the north.

last year I had almost a dozen that would come to my feeder - black ones, blue ones, reds and yellows....

this year I have seen two and they won't touch the feeder

A month ago, about 20 swarmed in emptying feeders daily.

Then they left, 1-2 sporadically, now some are back, about, 5-6 daily now.

Last year 5-6 around feeder,this year only one.

OK, just this week we've seen a couple. We're having a heat wave/drought, so maybe that's related. Or, maybe they're fledglings? They look pretty small.

My 2 feeders were a territorial battleground between 6 or 8 hummers last year. Not so many this year. The most I have seen recently is 2 of the little flying acrobats. They provide some interesting entertainment.

i have a nest in one of my rhodedendrons. I watched 'em collect cottonwood fuzz to line it.

Plenty here. Going through hummingbird food at a prodigious rate and enjoying the aerial battles.

I put out a feeder this year and have not seen one.

Hope they find it.

Just in the last few days the numbers have been increasing, lots more fighting over the feeders. Maybe they are just running late this year.

I don't know about hummingbirds, but the crape myrtle trees here are late. Maybe the wet spring?

We have quite a few this year. Much more activity than we had a year or two ago when we barely saw any.

We had a reduced "charm" this year, but still had a dozen or so at a time hitting the feeders. The regulars seem to have headed south already.
We had a week or ten days with just one or two at a time, and now we have the swarms heading south stopping in to top off before the next leg.

Lots of flowers, lots of feeders.
I'm seeing a bunch south east of Charlotte.
