South Texas too. Saw some buzzing around our esperanza blooms. We put a couple of feeders out and instantly had at least 10 or so jockeying for position.

I've had a few hummingbirds stay all summer, but in the last couple of weeks, we've gotten a lot more. I included a male and female painted bunting. They've been here for about a month. I have also seen a male and female Baltimore oriole, but I was only able to get the female's picture.

Same. Haven't seen a single one yet near Wellborn and we have LOTS for them to eat.

I've seen 3 ruby throats and a pair (one with way less coloring, almost gray like a dove?) of black chinned hummers so far in the last week at my parents place in Milam county.

They are late this year, but they're coming!

Anyone have hummingbirds? I have an occasional one, but last year at this time they were swarming.

None. I was wondering the same thing.

The migration was pretty light this year. We had a few transients for a couple weeks but I am back to just seeing one or two a day now. Probably going to put the feeder up for the season because we have plenty of stuff in the landscaping for the locals to eat.

Hopefully we'll have a bigger migration in the fall!

I've had two hang around this summer but 2 more have now showed up. I hope we have a big wave this fall!

Was told by someone in the know that they had all moved on. But I've been seeing quite a few buzzing the porterweed flowers in my front yard.

Made me wonder of different species have different migration patterns (I know, duh)?

Agreed. Not like I will be later, but definitely more birds last few days.

I've got over a dozen on three feeders E of Bryan. Started with one feeder last week and had a bird on it within 5 minutes. I put another up that day or the next. Then a third feeder this morning. They drained one feeder completely today after I filled it this morning.

This is our first year outside of town. I only ever got a couple in town.

Currently have two stuck in the garage buzzing around the ceiling that can't figure out that the 8x20 door opening they flew in is the way out!

My clinic backs on to a creek and small forest. There have been a ton of hummers around the red trumpet looking flowers the last few days.

I'm running through 2-3 cups of 4:1 mixture a day.

The last few days I have to refill feeders halfway through the day. I had at least 20 on my 3 feeders this morning in Bryan.

We had one who went into our garage and just would not fly out...eventually the hummingbird flew out later in the day.
