Single-bird reports dominated in a week when both hummer sightings and numbers took a dive. Observers reported more random and less frequent sightings as October cool fronts and showers sent hummers south. Keep your feeders up: Stragglers are sure to come.

“I read sightings from others, paying close attention to those north of me. I might have a few more opportunities to enjoy these amazing birds.”
