We had at least one blue-headed vireo in our trees on Saturday, 9/20.
We put the hummingbird feeder out mid August. Immediately we started seeing hummingbirds. No more than one at a time.
Here it seems like the adult males come through first and then the females and young ones. It’s just been females and young ones for two or three weeks.
The weekend of the 13th and 14th, we had at least four fighting over the feeders. Since then we’re down to one bird at a time, seen on and off throughout the day.
