We have twice as many today as yesterday, but there is still some squabbling going on. I don't think any other migratory path goes through our area so we just get RTs. I have been told of sightings of black chinned or rufous in the winter, they say that if we have a winter hummer that is what it is. Several other species may occasionally be found in Houston in the winter. These include Allen's, Anna's, Broad-tailed, and Buff-bellied Hummingbirds. All this info comes out of Houston, we are NW so I will be extra vigilant as the stragglers hang around in October. The numbers are too large for me to be sure of anything other than ducking and the fact that they will hover in front of you and chew you out if a feeder goes missing too long.
I will get more pics as the mob gets bigger, it is amazing.
