It has been a couple of days since I have seen the Hummers that were
squabbling hourly over my feeders for the past month.  So, I am assuming
they have left to go south.  If I don't see any over the next week, I
will probably put just one feeder out until the weather freezes, and
hope for a non-Ruby Throat to stop by.

Steve, it's too soon for them to ALL be gone...

My last dates here are generally the first week of OCT.

Had my usu fem/imm come a couple of times already today.  There may have been two yesterday.

Last male seems to have been the one that came on 9/5.

I also will keep up a feeder, but only until Turkey day this year.  In past years I have gone until the 1st of the year, but after a decade of no show rarities, I've lost patience...sorry George.

We have not seen any hummers in about a week. I might set the camera up later on today or tomorrow and record for the afternoon. Will keep the feeder out, but I think they might’ve gone. 

The house sparrows have arrived, though. Quite a flock of them in our area, at least 30+ seen. 

We had three barred owls serenade us a couple of nights ago. I even got to see one fly for the first time. Also got an audio of two of them scuffling, I think. We normally have at least two pairs in the area. The photo is of a immature barred owl, taken earlier this summer in my backyard. It had a broken wing. Rehab at Phoenix Wildlife Center.
