They're still around, though we can tell at least one is a newbie passing through. Last night while we were sitting outside a hummer was behind us checking out every berry on an Actaea plant. She must have seen the red stems. She then flew right between us, at about shoulder height, on her way to a feeder. We were sitting 2 feet apart! None of our regulars have ever done that!

We're still battling the honey bees at the feeders. We do have a few yellow jackets, but mostly bees! At least it makes for some good action shots, as the hummers keep backing off then going back to the feeder.
