Suspect the Tropic Storm Karen heading north into the Gulf and the southbound early winter front was their internal clock to move on southbound.

I told em last week they had 1 more week then it was time to hit the road south. They did and feeders went down Sunday.

So long til April, have safe trip.

Well, within an hour after my previous post that they were gone...who shows up, but our fat boy Hummingbird.

So, instead of remcing feeders as planned, a clean up and new solution and he was around with his other friend; my Mrs calls them:
Gordo & Flaco - Fat & Skinny; gorging for energy stores for their continued trip south.

They hung around for a couple of more days, entertaining our cats,...and now they too may have moved on.

Here in Central Texas I'm still having a few stop in. A few days ago two hummers were squabbling over the feeder in the evening. I keep at least one feeder going for the rare winter hummer sighting. Two years ago I had one overwinter, it hung around. I had to pull the feeder down at night when it the weather got freezing and put it up at daybreak in the morning. As soon as I put it up the little guy hurried to get to it.

Side not, I have a Screetch Owl that showed up this morning, it was sunning itself in the box opening. My piticular owl box is occupied during Fall thr Spring.
