Poor little birdie...maybe her little beak was “chattering” in the cold! Thanks for feeding her! OUr hummers disappear
for the winter months.

In the summertime, I usually have ten hummers, or so. I bought a feeder with eight openings, and they were full all the time. But, once ‘roufous’ got here in July, he wouldn’t let any other hummers near it - so I took it down. Now, I just have the one feeder - with four openings.

Most of the hummers have migrated by October - but for those who stick around, I always keep fresh syrup out there for them. (All the bird information I have ever read, says that keeping a feeder out will NOT keep them from migrating.)

The hummingbird makes that ‘clicking’ noise, LUV - all year round.
