I don't think there should be any concern about feeders delaying migration. Hummingbirds need to feed on insects for protein in addition to nectar and I would be confident that the birds move on of their own accord.

I�ve always left mine up until i wasn't seeing any to help out the stragglers. Is there any truth to needing to take the feeders down so they don�t stay too long? Don�t they know when to go?
