In past years, about once every 10 days. In the past month, about every 3 days. I always seem to have about 3 hummingbirds a season...but admittedly I can’t really tell them apart beyond sex. Somehow, this year they just seem more active. They were still here this am. I had read that they switch to a more protein diet and less sugar water prior to migrating. Again, I do not know if this is really the case.

We are really home bound this year, so perhaps I am just being more observant.
