Yes, the weather is getting cooler here and yes, I still have a female
ruby throated hummingbird coming to my feeder. If she decides to stay
the winter this will be three years in a row. :)

She's looking fat and sassy:

Anything going on bird-wise in your yards?

I kept my hummer feeders up for about a week after Oct. 3 which is when they're supposed to migrate to warmer climes but I never saw the
feeders' level drop so I just took them down.
Earlier in October I saw some Northern Flickers pecking on the ground
but they must have been stopping over for a few days.
Having a hummer that sticks around for three years is pretty cool.
