Thank, K-H. I had 6 or 7 resident hummingbirds over the summer. They have left for the south. Recently I have seen one or two in my yard occasionally, I think these are coming from the north and making stopover along the way to the south. I thought hummingbirds in California don't migrate? They are truly amazing little creatures. Hard to imagine these little birds can fly thousands of miles in migration. I will miss them, until April next year.
Thanks Douglas. I will miss them too.
Apparently some hummingbirds stay year round in Vancouver.
We have been living in our house now for 31 years.
The bird population changes with the seasons and with the years.
Ahead of time one can never tell which birds will show up in massive numbers, if any.
