> About a week ago the male hummingbird coming to our feeders did the 
> courtship trick (swinging back & forth in a wide arc). I didn't see if 
> there was a female present but considered it very odd for this time of 
> year. This morning at a neighbour's, I watched a male doing the same thing 
> with a female in attendance. Then they flew off together...one returned 
> briefly but i couldn't tell which one. It's remarkable how exact the arc 
> is, reaching the same height as it started each time.

> In respect to males, the majority are usually gone by mid-August. It would 
> be interesting to hear who still has males attending their feeders.
