Don't Take Your Hummingbird Feeder Down Yet (The Ones Still Coming Need It Most)

🐦 The six-week plan that takes an empty yard to a full one — what to buy, where to hang it, and what to expect each week. Plus four pages you can print and take to the store. 📘 FORTY YEARS AT THE WINDOW — https://wendellswindow.com Before you take your hummingbird feeder down, I want you to know who may still be depending on it. Cool mornings and a quiet week don’t mean migration is over—and leaving a feeder up won’t stop hummingbirds from heading south. Drawing on forty Septembers at my window, I explain: • Why feeders don’t delay migration • Which hummingbirds may visit late in the season • How to provide a safe final fuel stop • How I keep nectar fresh as temperatures change • Why the Pacific Coast is different • How seeds, shelter, and water also help migrating birds • Why a late Rufous Hummingbird can be an unforgettable surprise Tell me your state and the last day you saw a hummingbird. I read every response and add it to the migration record I’ve kept for forty years. Subscribe if you want more of what this window teaches—and if you already took your feeder down, I’ll explain why you may want to put it back. 0:00 Before you take it down 1:02 Feeders don't delay migration 2:38 Who visits in September 3:59 The last fuel stop 5:32 Late-season feeder care 5:59 The Pacific Coast exception 6:23 Leave seeds, shelter and water 7:20 The late Rufous surprise 8:24 Put the feeder back #Hummingbirds #HummingbirdFeeder #BirdMigration #BackyardBirding #BirdWatching #FallMigration
