It's extra sad for me. This week,we've seen our first hummingbirds in our garden in about 4 years. In the past 3 months animal control has caught 29 stray cats in a 2 block area.

My kids and daycare kids have been so excited watching these guys fuss over their flowers. We don't want to see them go. Especially since the neighbors cat just had 4 kittens and will probably scare off the hummers next year again.

Sad here too. I've had no sightings at all today. Only 3-4 sightings yesterday and the day before. I do believe the majority of the hummers have left our section of PA. I'll keep a feeder up until mid-October though...occasionally in the past I'd get a stray passing by.

I just had one here, but it must be traveling thru, because it checked out the feeder and didnt' stay.

you might well have the migrants thru September

I think my local Rufous may have departed...there's a definite change under way in the seasons. We have a pretty mild climate here, but the Rufous definitely come and go again.

I have an Anna's juvie male spending lots of time amongst my many hummer flowers...he remains very territorial, chasing after any bird he sees in the area and even buzzing me now and then. I have strong hopes he and a few other Anna's will spend the winter near my house again this winter...2nd year in a row.

I bet you'll get some migrators passing through. I usually have at least 2 through the first couple weeks of October. Right now I have 4 that keep bickering over the flowers and feeders. So much fun, but I know it will come to an end soon :-(

I haven't seen any since Saturday.

I saw several at a feeder at a Northwoods Wisconsin cabin (near Boulder Junction) this weekend, and returned home to at least four at my Madison-area feeder. Don't assume they're not gone just yet!

My feeder activity is slowing too but I'm going to leave it up for awhile for the migrants.

Well 'Lil Bit, my tame little girl. along with Miss Tish left on Friday. Big Mamma left on Saturday but I still have a couple visiting flowerz and feederz. It just isn't the same though without them. I had a male pass through but haven't seen him since Sunday. Yes the season is winding down now but I will keep at least 2 feeders up until it gets too cold to keep them from freezing like I did last year. I am only seeing them infrequently now in the morning and later in the afternoon.

On a side note, maybe I can get some work done in the house now since it has been completely neglected all summer.

I still have at least 2. My son, who lives a few miles away has 3 or 4. So they are still here. I'm also keeping my feeders up for several more weeks. There are still some things blooming for them here but not as many. I know it's just a short time till they will all be gone.
