Not here in northern Louisiana. It’s been brutally hot and dry since May. I don’t know if we had one drop of rain in June, and that is usually one of, if not the, wettest months of the year. The 100+ temps don’t usually start here until July, but June had plenty of them, in addition to 99 degree days.

We finally had some rain the other night and temps are supposed to moderate into the lower 90s for a while, but this May and June were the hottest anyone here can remember.

On my front porch in North Louisiana I have been feeding hummingbirds for about 15 years, and usually have a flock of about 100 southward-migrating birds by mid-September, as judged by their sugar syrup consumption, but up till now I have never had many in July. This year there seem to be about as many as I have ever seen in the fall migration season. I wonder if this is due to the cold temperatures up North that are prompting them to head south much earlier than usual?
