"Still here!" was a common phrase that appeared in many reports this week. Observers were delighted when a hungry hummer visited their flowers and feeders after days with no sightings. When do hummingbirds typically leave from your area each year? Are this year's visitors leaving earlier? later?
"One sighting today around 11:30 a.m. Each day I think it will be the last hummer of this fall season, so I was pleasantly surprised!"

"This hummer visited my feeder for a few minutes around 4 p.m. and then perched for about 5 minutes."
