I only have one species so far, and only two of them.

It's slow for hummingbirds everywhere I've been in southeast Arizona lately. Three species at my own feeders in Rio Rico; Broad-billed, Black-chinned and Rufous.

We only get one species of hummer here (ruby throated). I've read that there are Rufus occasionally, but I nor anyone I know have ever seen one. You are very lucky to have more than one species! Enjoy........

I have four feeders that are up all year round and they have been for many years now. I only have 1-2 birds per feeder now because there is seldom a fight where usually there is constant bickering over who "owns" the feeder.. During this last Spring migration I may have seen a couple more but that's it. It's been slow the last few months. I assumed this was just my neighborhood and not a general trend.

I've got two species here (Anna's and Black-chinned), but plenty of them! A quick walk around the neighborhood can turn up 10 hummingbirds! At my feeders there are usually only 1 to 3 at a time though.

I'm hoping that the lull in hummingbird activity at my feeders is because the desert is flowering pretty good this spring. I also don't have many bees anymore at the feeders, which may also point to many flowers available now.

Oh well, there are quite a few Gila Woodpeckers and Hooded Orioles using the feeders along with the hummingbirds.
