Getting 3 hummingbird species at feeders: Black-chinned, Rufous & Calliope. No Broad-tailed, as of yet. Have seen adults & juveniles of all the 3 that are pushing through, at present. But, in noticeably fewer numbers than past years. Only going through 2 to 3 oz, total, per day of nectar.
Be curious if Bill Moore will weigh in & let us know his numbers? I did read where E Oregon birders noted a significant decrease in Spring arrivals, of all bird species usual for their region, this year. Various explanations, including drought conditions in Western US. I'll be curious to see what rest of the month & Sept brings at my location. But, so far, a decrease in hummingbird migrants at my spot on the map.
