Hummingbirds Staying Longer

Hummingbirds Staying Longer

by molly
(nova scotia)

I live in Nova Scotia, Canada. I had 16 hummers here this year. The latest I have had them was Sept. 5th.

Last week on the 6th I still had 4. It is now Sept. 12th and I still have 2 here.

Six days longer than any previous year. As much as I would love for them to stay I am getting worried why they are still here.

Does anyone else find their hummingbirds staying longer this year?

staying longer
by: JIM

We live in Hemet, Ca. so we are used to hummingbirds staying year round, though not as many. I was really surprised that right before Christmas I noticed a hummingbird adding to a nest on our patio. I thought maybe she was just using it at night as the nights had been in the 30's. Yesterday when she was not around, I looked in the nest and saw two eggs. I've never known any bird to nest this early.

I live right at the mouth of Halifax Harbour and mine are usually gone by Aug.20th or so. This year(2009) I had more than I have ever had, they ate double the normal amount and today is Sept.2nd and out of 8, 2 are still here. It was a wonderful 4 months but its coming to an end....
