Still have hummingbirds but not as many and not nearly as active. We did have one last week fly into our garage. The bird couldn't figure out how to get out of the garage. It kept flying straight up instead of low and forward to go through the door. The bird would also fly into the wall of the garage trying to find it's way out. My husband assisted it by holding out a large leaf rake and waiting for it to land on the rake. It eventually did and he lowered the rake just enough for the bird to fly through the door. Once the bird was outside again it appeared to just keep flying upwards. Unbelievable to watch!
