"How the HECK are, ‘my’ Hummingbirds going to get to their Winter Quarters in Costa Rica this year? They left two weeks ago. :("

I'll be damn, I was just thinking that same thing today. Yours have been down here at my feeders fattening up for the flight across the gulf.
But...I was wondering where they'll go with Nate coming jn.

It’s a good thing that you and I worry about the IMPORTANT THINGS in life! *HEART*

I love my Hummingbirds and I feed them copious amounts of sugar-water all summer and plant all of their favorite nectar-producing flowers in my garden each year.

How is the Monarch population by you? I don’t think I saw more than SIX all summer - and we have TONS of wild Milkweed and Butterfly weed growing for them all over the farm.

Two Yellow Swallowtails. Exactly, two! :(
