sugar water dispenser is before it is up in the spring and ask for it. My aunt does. The hummingbirds go up to her on her deck as if to say "hey lady where is the sugar water?".

OMG wryter2000 Sep 2024 #1

About 30 between all the feeders. They'll be gone soon. Solly Mack Sep 2024 #4

WOW, Solly, you've outdone yourself with these gorgeous pix! SheltieLover Sep 2024 #2

Thanks, SheltieLover Solly Mack Sep 2024 #5

Hummingbirds migrate? ancianita Sep 2024 #72

Yes. To Mexico, as well as to Central and South America. Some people are lucky enough to have them year-round. Solly Mack Sep 2024 #78

I just posted a website SheltieLover Sep 2024 #80

Thanks! Solly Mack Sep 2024 #82

Yw! SheltieLover Sep 2024 #84

Yes, they do! SheltieLover Sep 2024 #79

I've only seen them in California, so I'd no idea! ancianita Sep 2024 #100

Oh their wings move so quickly it's impossible to see them! SheltieLover Sep 2024 #102

"Only?" SheltieLover Sep 2024 #83

Areas around here have several dozens, so 12 is a small number. I have males hanging out on my gutters, the outside Solly Mack Sep 2024 #86

Holy cow! You're really lucky! SheltieLover Sep 2024 #90

I know! They are amazing birds. Albeit vicious. Solly Mack Sep 2024 #96

Yes the males get quite aggressive over the feeders SheltieLover Sep 2024 #99

So do the females. One female was pecking the heads of other females at the feeders. Just jabbing her beak right into Solly Mack Sep 2024 #106

Omg! Really? SheltieLover Sep 2024 #111

Nope, not tired of hummers. brer cat Sep 2024 #7

I have to take a lot to get a few good shots. Solly Mack Sep 2024 #8

Mine are gone just like that. Monday was the last day here. Walleye Sep 2024 #9

I love the tail spread too! Solly Mack Sep 2024 #11

Where are you located? I have a friend in New Mexico who still has lots of them migrating there Walleye Sep 2024 #12

Louisiana. Friends in New Orleans tell me they've seen them over the winter. Not here though. Not yet. Solly Mack Sep 2024 #14

I lived in Baton Rouge for a year and a half. MLF1981 Sep 2024 #15

I'm in SW CENLA and we get too much winter for them even though we don't get much of a winter at all. Solly Mack Sep 2024 #17

So I'm guessing... MLF1981 Sep 2024 #20

Somewhere between the two, yes. I prefer Creole dishes though I won't say no to a crawfish boil. Not a fan of boudin. Solly Mack Sep 2024 #21

Man, oh man, you and I are very different. MLF1981 Sep 2024 #38

I'm not a native, so that could explain it. My husband loves king cake. Me, not so much. lol Solly Mack Sep 2024 #59

Those look like Anna's RainCaster Sep 2024 #10

Those are ruby-throated hummingbirds. They migrate south for the winter. They are usually gone by mid-September. Solly Mack Sep 2024 #13

Yes, that's the way my juvenile males were looking before they left. On one of yours, you can see starting to get Walleye Sep 2024 #22

Your photo is quite beautiful, Walleye! Mousetoescamper Sep 2024 #91

Thank you! Got some winter light Walleye Sep 2024 #103

Beautiful! Simply gorgeous! Solly Mack Sep 2024 #108

Thank you I felt, especially smiled upon by Mother Nature to get that little bird visiting me in the winter Walleye Sep 2024 #110

The unexpected pleasures are the best. Solly Mack Sep 2024 #112

Never! Please keep them coming if you're so inclined. The photos are fantastic! HeartsCanHope Sep 2024 #16

Very aggressive. Been watching their battles. Mean little things. Solly Mack Sep 2024 #40

group of hummers AllaN01Bear Sep 2024 #27

Not so charming when they attack each other over the food. Solly Mack Sep 2024 #37

I had several feeders when I lived on a farm Skittles Sep 2024 #49

They are cute when they do that. I laugh a lot watching them. Solly Mack Sep 2024 #55

So pretty! FullySupportDems Sep 2024 #28

Bees will get lazy and leave the flowers alone. There are flowers right next to the feeders and the hummers , bees, and Solly Mack Sep 2024 #35

It's so cheerful to see them all, isn't it? FullySupportDems Sep 2024 #104

I love watching all the critters flying around my flowers. My zinnias are still going but I'm letting them go to seed. Solly Mack Sep 2024 #105

Great shots! Tom Dyer Sep 2024 #29

Thanks, Tom Dyer. Solly Mack Sep 2024 #34

Cool pic underpants Sep 2024 #30

That one is a mean female. She was pecking the heads of other hummingbirds to get them away. She turned to look at me Solly Mack Sep 2024 #33

do you have a name for her Skittles Sep 2024 #51

Ha! I did call her a not so nice name under my breath. Solly Mack Sep 2024 #56

I'm not tired of hummingbirds. Demobrat Sep 2024 #31

Me neither. Love the little things. Solly Mack Sep 2024 #32

Me too. Sometimes I sit outside in my lounge chair Demobrat Sep 2024 #45

I was too close and one pooped on me. Didn't mean to, I'm sure. Just being a bird in flight. Solly Mack Sep 2024 #54

I would take a poop to have one get that close. Demobrat Sep 2024 #75

LOL! They use their poop and pee as a weapon against other hummingbirds. To drive them away. Solly Mack Sep 2024 #81

I didn't know that! Demobrat Sep 2024 #87

I didn't either until I witnessed them charging at another hummer and then turning their bottoms up and letting loose. Solly Mack Sep 2024 #88

Me? Tired of hummingbirds? NEVER. My dear Solly Mack, these are amazing creatures . . . CaliforniaPeggy Sep 2024 #36

Post all you like, dear Solly! I love 'em. CaliforniaPeggy Sep 2024 #57

Takes time the older we get but you know that. Makes me mad though. It's been hard getting used to the slower healing. Solly Mack Sep 2024 #60

Wow! Great Pics! Rob_70 Sep 2024 #39

Mine have headed south...haven't seen one in 3 days. patphil Sep 2024 #71
