Returned from Florida last week and set out feeders. Usual suspects soon
arrived, but yesterday, I had a visitor - a male R-B Grosbeak, and today,
he was back. Could he be a possible nester? The hummingbird feeder has had
one female visitor for one lone visit. I usually have 4-5 females. Anyone
else report low number of hummers?
Hi Paul,
We have fewer hummingbirds this year as well. Last year we had at least 10
so I had four feeders and many plants for them. This year we have four
hummingbirds so I reduced the feeders down to two, though they also feed at
the Oriole feeder.
