Hi Tweets: Have any of you noticed a change in your hummingbird population? Seems the regulars have already moved on and what is coming by is migrants that don't know where the hole is in the feeder or they ignore it completely and if your wearing a red shirt they chase you. According to our birding records this happened last year at this time also. Even though they leave us earlier does not mean they come back in the spring earlier. Thought I would toss this out. The Oregon grapes are producing a good crop so the Pileateds are around despite the housing boom in these parts.
