Number: 20

Before Hurricane Delta got here on Friday, 10/9/2020, we averaged 11 hummingbirds enroute to Mexico. We now have over 20 since the day of the hurricane. They even drank nectar constantly during the day before the night-hours landfall. That was interesting as we had intermittent wind gusts and heavy rain-squalls all afternoon. The next morning I saw one drinking at 4:30 a.m., and not the usual twilight/dawn of 6:45 a.m. On Sat., 10/10, after the hurricane passed, they drank ravenously all day. So, for the past 3 days we have had a steady count of 20+. They are intense, as they stay at the feeders and don't leave as I clean and refill them one-at-a-time.
