    My numbers in Parker County seem about normal and the feeders at New York Hill in Thurber seem to be packed as usual.

      Just got back from a cabin in Pagosa Springs Colorado. The feeders there have very few on them. Normally hundreds of them are there.

        We had 10-12 here towards the end of April, but nothing since.

          Yep, I am waiting for the migration to start in September- November, to see some new color @ the feeders

            Like others in our area (DFW) have said it has been an off year. We added a second feeder this year but we haven't seen a single bird.

              We are in Denison and have been pretty consistent with them since April. They may be slowing a little but still good. Our place by Atoka has been good up this point as well.

                I've got two feeders out on the back porch. They've been out since I spotted the first ones this year back in April. We have 4 or 5 regulars that hit the sugar water. They're fun to watch.

                  Very slow at our house in Young county this year. Went about three weeks without seeing any, but a couple are back now. We put up a purple Martin house for the first time this year and have close to 14 right now, so that’s been fun and interesting. Gives me a reason to break out the old pellet gun and do a little sparrow control too.

                    We have a pair that are staying around, they probably have nested and hatched at least one clutch so far. My daughter saw the smallest hummer we have seen so assume it was a new chic. We have out a couple of feeders and also we planted some coral honeysuckle they really like.

                    Even thought this is nesting pair they still run each other off the feeders, they just can't stop themselves I don't think.

                      Got in my new Tactacam yesterday - decided to test it out and see if I could catch a few visitors.

                        This is my next endeavor is have cameras on the feeders before the migration comes and I can catch different species come from up north

                            I have three feeders that I "try" to keep up with. With a crazy work schedule, being on nights for the summer, I sometimes let the feeders go too long without changing the solution, I'm sure in the summer you really need to change it out every couple days. We traditionally have quiet a few throughout the spring and summer, sit out back for an hour in the evening and see 5-10 hitting the feeders. Started off good this spring, then the sightings dropped off over the past month or so. They are still around, just not hitting the feeders in the evening like normal. I don't know if it was the freeze, fewer flowering plants, or what. I know I have two big altheas that are stunted and have zero blooms on them. Typically my hummingbirds hit my flowing plants hard along with the feeders.

                              Now that’s a lot of birds

                                Hummingbird chicks can be up to twice the size of the adults.
