Hard to come up with a hard figure, because they move around so quickly, but certainly as many as 10 around yesterday. I've already seen (and heard) many today. A couple got into the workshop, and we had to lure them out by holding up a feeder inside, waiting for them to perch on it, and then slowly walking to the door and letting them go on their way. >>>> Andy and Chris in Freeport NS >>>> >>>> >>>>> On 9/1/2016 8:45 AM, Angus MacLean wrote: >>>>> We have had three female/yoy since August 25 when our last two males left. Today there were any number of hummers in the backyard mostly feeding on the flowers instead of the two feeders. Likely migrating but perhaps excited by the rain, rare to us too!! Certainly the other birds were excited including two Pine Siskins which we have not seen for a month or so. Also one late young Song Sparrow without a tail. >>>>> >>>>> How many still have male hummers?; usually gone by August 15 to 20th.
