Your feeders and flowers help hungry hummers build up body fat depleted during migration. In a good spot with many natural food sources, a migrating hummer might stick around two or three days.
"Birds are keeping very close to the feeders and trying to drive others away. They eat and then sit, watching the feeders and flowers."
