Do you mind forwarding me the link to it? I'd like to see if I could add it to my emails....do you think that will work? I found others but not as cute as that one.

I saw my first one in early April and by now I usually see them everyday multiple times a day....and that just isn't happening at all....it really makes me sad. My friends in Carlsbad, CA said they havent' seen that many either. Any thoughts? Iggygal

Farmer Joined: May 2008 Posts: 700 Mississippi I didn't post anything on the map, but my recollection is I saw the first one here in April. It buzzed my flowering citrus. They are everywhere now. When I fill the feeder, it's empty within a day. Hard to keep up. "No crime is involved in plagiarizing nature's ways" (Edward H. Faulkner, 1943, "Plowman's Folly," University of Oklahoma Press).

Now this happens every year about the last week before the hummers leave for the season. It frightens me that it is happpning now---it is nowhere near the middle of October after all.

I would continue to put out nectar and enjoy the visits. By the way... on my advice, a friend here put out a feeder a few weeks ago. Did not see a single hummer until this morning!
