I am in SE PA, I haven't seen any hummingbird for months now. Have you seen hummingbirds at this time in previous years?

Hey Everyone....I live here in Va. Beach, Va. and I haven't seen any little critters as of late!!! The last time I had some stop by was in early Oct....I took down my feeders last week...but if you think that we here on the coast will see a few straglers left behind...then up they will go!!!! They will be up in ten minutes....let them know ""Lunch is being served in Va. Beach!!!! "

Hi Laura and Sara,

For the last 4-5 years, we have been getting about 10 Western hummingbirds a year that come through Sept-Nov in Pennsylvania. They are not migrating on their correct west coast route and end up here accidentally. They then (hopefully) continue south. The birds are usually Rufous hummingbirds and migrate through well after our Ruby-throated hummingbirds have left. The people who study these hummingbirds suggested leaving your feeders up until at least Thanksgiving. A couple of the hummers have stayed in PA until January in the past. My hummingbird left last Friday, but at least one Rufous is still in Pennsylvania right now.

Hi, Bellatrix!

I will try to keep the feeder up longer next year and keep changing the sugar water . Usually when I don't see any hummingbirds for a while in September, I just give up.

Hey Everyone,

I haven't seen any visitors to my feeders...but I will keep them up for another few weeks!!! Even though we had a huge storm here in Virginia Beach...hopefully they will hear the dinner bell!!! LOL...
