At the risk of causing Nifty further embarrasment....
The hummingbirds haven't left yet. My feeders are usually cleaned and stored away by now.
They emptied my two - one quart feeders in one day, yesterday. I just went out, refilled and re-hung them; with a hummer hovering near my shoulder while I did.
I used to take the feeders down around the first of September, but recently learned you should leave em up for two weeks after you see the last hummer in the fall. Two??? There's at least 20 of the little boogers out there right now.
The spiders are "saying" that it's going to be a cold, nasty winter. The hummers say differently?
