Central Texas Hummingbirds

Migration seems to have begun. Karen was reporting that 80 to 100 hummers a day would visit her feeders this summer. Yet, recently, the numbers have dropped to around 30 or 40 a day. Flowers are still blooming. The feeders are still being filled. These jewels are tanking up for their flights south. We will enjoy them all we can.

Spotted my first 2010 Hummingbird at a feeder last evening,abt 7 pm. I'm new to this, as of last year, and can't identify species at all. This little fellow was almost solid black. I've had my feeders out for about 2 weeks, putting just a bit of fresh food in every other day. This is the first bird I've seen at the feeders.
