Our hummers are still busily feeding at Wyman Road, near Yarmouth. However,
pretty well all we are seeing are males!

Subject: [NatureNS] Bad weather for breeding birds, and disappearing
hummingbirds
Hi All;
This does not appear to be a great summer for breeding success. In our yard
the only evidence of fledged young is Common Grackles, and both Downy and
Hairy Woodpeckers. A bust so far for juncos, sparrows, jays, robins,
finches, and doves.
And the hummingbirds seem to have disappeared completely. Three or four
were around the feeders regularly up to a few days ago, but no sign of any
now, and others nearby who feed hummers have reported the same
disappearance.
What is everyone else's experience?
Cheers,
Blake
