Where did the hummers go ?

Garhart · Feb 13, 2014

Hi, been living in the SFV for quite a few years and for the first time am seeing almost no hummers . I keep three feeders going and have for years. This time of year is usually a mad house outside my window. Very thin right now .Lots of the small little migratory birds right now headed back up North . Was 84 out yesterday afternoon. I hear the East coast is about to be pounded really hard by a snow storm. Rough times for those living there.

Around here they don't seem to have much interest in feeders until August?

...then, war breaks out at the feeders. :biggrin:

they are here.... my neighbor got a feeder and they are coming round .... i left my feeder in the city it didn't seem so important as other stuff... I got some hummer pics from the city haven't uploaded em yet... I really like them guys and their courting and fighting scenes are epic.... the way them little guys fly and maneuver is amazing....

I used to live in a place in Florida that was magical to me . I was real ill, but it was so pretty and isolated on a small chain of lakes. There was a flock of around 30 peacocks that slept in a large tree above my bed . The big male would post the young males on the parameter to protect the colony and I would hear them calling back and forth all night. Checking in with each other as of to say all is well and we are safe. God but I loved those birds. That colony had existed there since the mid fifties. I used to call the place the land of dancing peacocks. Now I live in LA, and it felt pretty magical here to. I called it the land of dancing hummers.

I was thinking a whole other kind of hummer and came in to say...Yeah the girlfriend dont do that much any more.... Where the hell did all the hummers go... :biggrin:

But the birds are cool too...

We have a feeder just out of reach of the cats but close enough for them to dream..
