Hi Randy,
I have to agree that all the Hummers seem to have disappeared. I had many at
my feeders a few weeks ago but for the last two weeks I have seen none. I
realize the weather has been exceptionally cool lately but I would have
thought they would have been feeding more often not leaving. Perhaps with
the weather warming up they will come back. At least I hope so.
