When do they stop feeding on nectar and start feeding on insects? I've been attracting them with clementines but lately they haven't been coming around as much.

I thnk that they always feed on both, just move to the nectar more when it's available.

I suspect that the reason they're not coming around as much is because they're done migration now - previously, you may have had a mix of migrants and local residents, now you only have the residents.

Thanks for the reply. I think you're right, I don't see or hear as many as I did in the beginning of spring.

Yeah, mine have all moved on now. Occasionally I'll get another batch passing through that stay a week or two.
