Still seeing my usual bunch, but they may have dwindled from 7 to 5 at this juncture, I can't be sure yet. But their consumption of nectar has gone down, as they seem to be putting on weight from protein sources. So I think they're beginning to fatten up for the coming migration with not as many trips to the feeders and flowers in the gardens as they spend more time out hunting bugs. They are noticeable "fatter" so the migration must be getting near, to my chagrin.
