[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's been too cold this spring. I think they're either late in arriving, or they were winter-killed on the way here, or starved. This spring was rediculously cold. It's like we were living in Montreal. [/quote] No they arrive in this area between April 10th through the 20th. They are in Canada by May 10. It is very consistent each year.[/quote] + 1 We put feeders up by April 1st, and take them down by end of October or mid-Nov if it is unusually warm. [/quote] Last year I had a hummingbird over the last two weeks of November, which included a number of days of temperatures between 20 and 25 degrees. It was likely a wayward rufous. I got up before dawn everyday to put out the feeder. The nectar would have frozen if I had left it out all night. At the very end of November I went on a business trip and the rufous was not there when I returned. I hope he found his way to Florida.[/quote]
