2023 Hummingbird Thread

[Loper]

I still have hummingbirds hanging around. Should I keep filling feeders, or take them in to shoo the birds along?

I had 4 feeders going. I took 2 down and left 2 up for the strays I see every now and then.

No, but I did put a little bling on her finger last night and we're applying for a license sometime this week.

I always love it when a tread takes a turn. This is awesome! Congrats!

Thanks! Sorry for the hijack. This wasn't the time nor place. I've been living on 4-5 hours of sleep per night and it made me delirious.

Just had a sighting here in Garden City, SC. I hadn’t seen any in almost 2 weeks.
Saw one hovering by a couple wilted honeysuckle blooms on my almost dead vine. Poor thing. I hurriedly made fresh nectar and cleaned the feeder. Now it’s enjoying some fresh food.

I'm getting bluebirds in my birdbath every day now. Loving that.
