Has anyone else noted a lack of hummingbirds at their feeders this summer?
We had good numbers at the start of the season, but we only have one or two
still visiting. Normally in July we have 10-20 birds visiting our 7 feeders.
Has the unseasonably cold weather resulted in mortality, or has there been
widespread nest failure and early migration. Are birders in Southern MN noticing
an unusually early influx of southbound migrants?
