Until two days ago I had hummers visiting my feeder frequently, sometimes several at the same time fighting to get at the feeder. For the last two days I have had not one hummer at my feeder. The nectar is fresh so I don't know why they stopped coming. I don't think there are any other feeders in my area so I am quite perplexed. It's June 21st so it's not because of cold weather. Any clues?
Where did they go?
I've read that hummingbirds prefer nectaring flowers over feeders. As those became more prevalent in my garden hummingbirds stopped coming to the feeders so must be something to that. I no longer bother with feeders and have lots of hummers. Another possibility is that they are so territorial that the fighting has made them leave.
