Straggler hummingbird stopped by early this morning. Went to all my flowers

1. Aww. I'm only seeing them at my feeders every couple days now.

Didn't see any at all yesterday. I'm in Colorado.

2. I'm surprised I thought these were all gone. I hadn't refilled the feeders

She did find a little bit left in the feeder and some flowers. Put fresh nectar in there now. This is the latest I’ve seen one here in Delaware. We are enjoying just about perfect weather here today

3. There still are stragglers working their way down towards Delaware ...

In recent days, most have been slim juveniles, (one of them was very slim) and a couple of adult females. I'll be keeping feeders up for a couple more weeks at least.

4. Thanks for the info, I refilled the big one and had to go get some sugar, I will refill the others

5. The large swarms of gnats here are making it easier for these smaller juveniles to hunt protein ...

These little birds seem stronger now than when they arrived. I think it's possible for this group to reach your area within a few days depending on weather.

Earlier this morning, a larger and plumper juvenile male was examining the front gardens, not sure if this curious one is a new arrival.

6. I'll be looking for them, we have lots of tiny insects swimming here

8. My brother was speaking to me yesterday on the phone and he saw one. Northern Delaware

9. That's 300 miles south of me, I don't know how long it will take for the ones here

To get there.
