Saw no hummingbirds this morning when I was refilling the ant moats on their feeders. Think I'll empty the stuff that's in them & replace it with what's in the fridge in case there are some that happen by. Supposed to stay warm until Tuesday. There are still lots of flowers they like yet too. Robins continue to bathe in the birdbath daily so it needs to be emptied & refilled each morning. They can really make the water fly when they get in there.

At least you still have the hummingbirds... :coffee:

I cleaned & refilled their 3 feeders last nite. I used up the last of the 4:1 sugar water mix & filled one of the feeders with a  3:1 blend. Watered all the planters, 4 o'clocks & cannas too. No excuses for going hungry should they happen by. Appears to be lots of warblers in their fall attire here today. No time to sit and watch them but given their shape & size, that's probably who they are. Did see a brown creeper earlier. Lord knows there are bugs of all kinds to eat here.
