Hummingbirds disappeared

[violaridgerunner]

Hi Everybody. I am a new user. Live in Wisconsin. We have hummingbirds all summer. We had about 15 humminbirds daily at our two feeders. All of a sudden a few days ago they all disappeared. The only thing that changed was that we put out a bird feeder close by and a bunch of grosbeaks showed up. Orioles have been using the hummingbird feeder but that did not seem to bother the hummmingbirds. WE cleaned the feeders and replenished them daily. Does anybody have any ideas what happened?

Hello and a warm welcome to you from those of us on staff here at BirdForum :t:

Not unusual at all espcecially around this time of their breeding season. I just went about 10 days with only an occasional hummer at the feeders just before dusk but as of Saturday I've got more than a dozen and there is quite a bit of territorial action going on as well amongst the juvies.
