That's one of the things I miss most about leaving North Carolina - the hummingbirds! The next to the last year we were there I put out three different feeders and one of them had like 8 ports. I was going through a 5# bag of sugar every week making my own nectar. Some days I had to refill them several times. We were swarmed!

I remember one year when we went to the Outer Banks in late September or early October.
The Catbirds, which are one of my favorites up here, had left Maryland; and when we got to NC, the yard of our rental was full of them.
There’s something fascinating no matter where you live, and everything is always ‘revolving’ :-)

I live in the Central Valley of California. I swear our hummers don’t migrate. I go through more nectar in the feeders in the winter than I do in the summer. Our feeders are almost always near empty from the amount of hummers that use them.
