Just got back from Hawk Ridge in Duluth, Sunday saw at least 12 Hummers fly by on their
way south and today I saw a few more so still plenty that will need to stop for food, I
also saw at least 2 or 3 more Hummers chasing around various raptors trying to put a
little whoop-ass on them!!!
If you get a HummZinger feeder it is designed to actually not break of it get frozen...

Subject: [mou] RE: hummer feeders
Keep the feeders up as long as you want to take care of them. Healthy migrating
hummingbirds will not be held back by full feeders. Although hummer activity is slowing
down a bit, the last migrants won't be out of here for a month or so. By leaving feeders
up, you may be helping a late fledgling or vagrant western hummer, which often show up
about this time of year.
At my place, activity has slowed down to about a half a gallon of sugar water daily, down
from a high of over a gallon/day a couple of weeks ago. Last weekend, I banded 52
hummingbirds in my backyard in one fast-paced morning of banding, which was just a small
percentage of the birds here--I ran out of time long before I ran out of birds to band.
Adult males are just about out of here; I saw one yesterday but haven't seen any today so
far. I'm keeping my eyes and ears open for something other than Ruby-throated, but
nothing yet.

A friend asked me when she should take down her hummingbird feeder - she
heard right after labor day. Is this the correct time or can one leave the
feeder up longer? Thanks K.young MPLS
