Re: Hummingbird birds
Didn't see any this a.m. after hearing some in the nannyberries last nite when I was watering. Was surprised they've hung around as long as they have.

Nope.   Just impulsive.   Besides that is a great movie...

But still, drinking isn’t necessarily a bad thing.  :sleazy: :sleazy:

Re: Hummingbird birds
Still at least one here as of this a.m. Spotted it working over the salvia on the patio. It made eye contact  and was off to wherever.

Re: Hummingbird birds
Saw one on the nectar feeder after chores this a.m. We have two nectar feeders. The glass oriole nectar feeder that the hummers also liked developed a crack in it a couple cleanings ago. It's kept getting larger until this a.m. when I decided to toss it, rather than have it split open & slice my hand. Pretty sure there won't be any more orioles. I replaced it with a spare nectar feeder & cleaned out the other one. Mixed up another half-batch of nectar so we'll see how much longer they go.

Re: Hummingbird birds
Afeared we're gonna hafta call it here having seen no specimens since Saturday. Still fresh nectar in their feeders & plenty of flowers still blooming should there be a straggler passing thru. It's been fun having them.  :happy1:

Re: Hummingbird birds
Just saw a hummingbird working on the cannas by the well! The previous record at the ranch was Oct. 9th. May want to come in the house & have something to really warm up on tonite.  :scratch:

Feeder still going down but I think the culprit is the chickadee I saw yesterday sitting on it chowing down.   That was news to me...

Re: Hummingbird birds
I can't believe what I just saw! The wife must've forgotten to hit the garage door button. I noticed the outdoor thermometer had already warmed up to 41. Odd. The floor heat in the garage was on so when I peeked and noticed the overhead door was open, I hit the button to close it. There was a hummingbird hovering just outside the doorway as it started to come down! A few minutes later I checked the other outdoor thermometer just to see what the temp actually was. The hummingbird was still out there working on the blue salvia in the planters. I was positive after seeing the one yesterday that was it. Thought about taking the nectar feeders down this weekend too. Leaving them up another week yet.  :cool:

Re: Hummingbird birds
Prolly overkill but I emptied, cleaned and refilled both the nectar feeders with half a batch mixed a hair more than 4:1. The sugar water in the one feeder was starting to look just a little cloudy. Don't want to make any of the little tykes sick on their way south.  :cool:
