When do your birds leave? NW Ark is loaded with them. We have a very territorial one that keeps running the others off. I'm about to go bird hunting.
Life ain't supposed to be easy.

My wife fills their feeders every day. I think they depart starting late August and are pretty much gone by mid September.

I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Saw some way up in the junipers yesterday while I was scouting for grey fox and bobcat. Haven’t seen many down near the house this year though

We are filling the feeders every day here .. a quart of sugar water per day is the average at the moment. Constant buzzing and chatting outside. I love them. We have a couple of small feeders with a suction cup on a window. They come right up when I stand at the feeder. The admiral has stud there holding the feeder in the palm of her hand and they will still drink from it.

Yup its mostly woodland here with grass fields dotted around for hay and cattle. 90% of my patch is woodland. Just a couple of food plots, my gardens and the easement for the little power line is not covered in trees. Mostly oaks and hickory

Not gone by a long shot where I live( Southern Indiana). The wife said she is going through a bag of sugar a week feeding our little glutton hummers. She has three feeders out and fills them daily. It is nothing to see 10 to 15 birds fighting to get a hole on the feeders.
