Dominant males left on 09/01/15. Dominant females left on 09/03/15. Most of mature resident Rubies were gone by 09/06/15.
This was a year with low number of Hummers (about one-fifth of previous five years. New borns were good, so numbers should pick up next year. Had seven feeders up. Now, down to four.

I am now waiting to see the transients from up North.

The yellow jackets and bald faced hornets weren't bad this year, but the yellow jackets are now hitting a few feeders hard. Probably getting ready to launch next year's queens. I have put the wasp traps out to catch as many of the new queens as possible.
