Lubbock TX,
Been noticing lots of hummingbirds lately. I'm sure they are heading south. This little guy gave me a chance to get a few pics.

Great pics. They're definitely migrating.

In the end, it's not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years.

Ours at the ranch have moved on. Had probably 50-60 last week, now nothing. Wifes house in Richardson still has a few. Weird.

We still have ours here in Alabama. Last year it took a big cold front before the last straggler moved on.

I have out four feeders right now and had probably 50-60 at one time at all 4 and no telling how many moving in and out into the Live Oaks. I had them sitting side by side on the feeders with 2 of them sharing one feeder hole at a time. One feeder had 16 sitting on it at one time. Two with only 4 feed holes had 8 on each feeder. There were that many buzzing around fighting for a space.

All cool photos. I only have 3 or 4 hanging around.

Here are some pics from yesterday morning after the sun came up. Bad angle and to large of a lens to get all the numbers that were at the 4 feeders. The highest numbers were about 10-15 minutes after daylight. I took some cell phone video of them but can not post it on here.

nice pics, I have firebush surrounding my front porch. There was at least a hundred on them and the feeders at daybreak on Saturday. I think they're moving on. just a few stragglers this evening.

This morning I was down to maybe 20 here at one time and this evening maybe 15 or so. They are moving south.

Thanks for the pics. Always enjoy seeing hummingbirds; recently started seeing them here in NW San Antonio.

I haven' seen any at my feeders for a week or longer. Guess they have all moved south.
