I don=E2=80=99t feel that feeders delay HBs and other birds from migrating. O=
ther cues, such as day length and many we don=E2=80=99t fully understand, se=
em to send the majority on their way at roughly the same time each fall. The=
re are always stragglers like this Hummingbird who is benefitting from Marg=E2=
=80=99s high-energy feeder at this late date. But I doubt feeders are what p=
ostponed its departure in the first place.
