This morning I read email telling of a Ruby-throated Hummingbird banded in Michigan and a Rufous Hummingbird banded in Indiana this week!

Hi Mark !

Just to let you know that I still have 2 small hummingbird feeders up in my backyard here in Mass but looks like it's only attracting whatever hornets are left now, but I will keep them up & filled !

Sure do miss the hummers.....praying for a short Winter and a very early Spring !

Mark - I'm in Michigan (close to Ohio) and was thinking about taking my feeder down.  I know the odds are slim it will find my feeder, but I guess I will leave it up a while longer.  Hope the little guy (or girl) migrates safely.

Amen Mary Ann...I'm with you, I still have 2 up and  with the warm weather were having in Missouri this week, maybe we'll have a few Hummers fly by and visit.

Busy day yesterday with hummers. There are still at least 4 Anna Hummers around. All 3 pics shot yesterday.

This is the first time I've seen this rugged looking hummer at my feeder

Great pictures Jack,

We still have Anna's Hummingbirds here in Oregon. Looks like they will stay around for the winter.  You always get the best pictures. Just wish I could take a picture half as good as  yours.
