Our hummingbird population seems to have drastically diminished over the last two weeks. Â 
It has cooled down considerably and I’m afraid they may have started their migration south. Â If so, it’s awfully early . . . we usually have hummingbirds here until October.

Amazing photos !!!
Thank you very much. I am going to miss them over the winter.
These are amazing captures!
Thanks, MD. I’m going to miss them over the winter.
Impressive shooting there! That landing one is superb. We used to have a year round bunch and then a springtime migrating crowd that had me putting out a gallon a day among 4 feeders. They were a feisty, rowdy type, but only stuck around for about a month. Perhaps headed up to visit you? I’m pretty sure we had Anna’s and Ruby Throated, but can’t remember which was which. They are SO much fun. I can imagine how you’ll miss them. I wish I could get them to show up at the current house.
Thanks, Gunta. This has been such a short summer for them. They came late and left early. Its going to be a long winter.
Same here . . . big drop this week alone. More signs of an early winter.
I hope its not going to be too bad. I’m not ready to start shoveling yet.
The first shot coming in to land with the beak ahead of the wings is fabulous – what sort of shutter speed are you using to freeze the wings?
Thanks so much Scott. The first photo was 1/800 at 5.3. Gotta love meta data. 🙂
Awesome!
Thank you Judy.
Great catch!
Thanks, Teri.
Truly stunning images Maralee and definitely nature magazine quality. It almost made me feel like I was looking out of a window watching them all in person. Well done and absolutely beautiful. ~ Rick
Thank you so much, Rick. I appreciate it.
Amazing Shot!
Thanks, David.
Our Costas and Rufous hummers are back, joining the fray.
These are wonderful shots. Wow!
