Back to this week's update.

Peak Migration
What do three dozen hummer look like? Sara McDowell shared the view from northwestern Louisiana. She says most mature males have passed through already, and 90-95% are females and immature young now.

"It's like an Alfred Hitchcock movie! It is simply incredible. And I can get right up to them.  I can stand so close that I literally can feel the wind generated by their wings! Each feeder is literally swarming with hummers! I am going through a gallon (!) of nectar per day. I've never seen anything like this."
