FINALLY got my first migrating Ruby-Throated Hummingbird this morning (a female) - 10 days later than last year, so I was getting worried. Glad to see her again!!
Yeah, I haven't seen another one since yesterday morning :-( They were around until mid-late November last couple of years; one lone female stayed until January both years. I'm at a higher elevation than their preferred wintering grounds!
So they are on their way to 'our place'!
Unfortunately, we have moved, although 15 Klm down the road, so I won't 'see my returnee's', but I know others do frequent the garden we are in.
Ruby-throated Hummers are still here in Central Illinois. We'll send them off soon! By the way, we have seen larger numbers this year compared to past years.
OOH can't wait until they get here! I'm still just seeing occasional individuals - had a gorgeous adult male on my feeder a few minutes ago. Hope I get a lot soon! Its fun watching them fight with the locals, all several times their size!
They seem to have left my yard in the last few days, so I'm guessing they've headed south. Like others, I've seen more this year than in previous years.
Migration has been going strong for almost a month here in Southern Arizona. I bet I had 50 or so a day. Yesterday had a dramatic drop, and only saw a couple today. They are definitely heading your way.
