Humming birds vanished this week. The female spent a lot of time at the feeder one evening, lifted straight up and hovered looking in the dining room window for a minute and zoomed off. The male took his turn. Haven’t seen them since. Because they left for winter migration according to folks who track such things! I guess I thought they hibernated like bears. Or something – actually I never thought about it before. If there is something more grueling than sitting in a car for a 30+ hour trip – it must be traveling the same distance by fluttering tiny wings! My internet source says the hovering and looking in the window was a goodbye because they do recognize the ones who feed them. They will be back next year because they have a phenomenal guidance system in their brain. May you learn something new to you this week! Thanks for stopping by to share your awesome projects, recipes and thoughts!

Our hummingbirds left last week. My husband gets so sad when they leave! And yes, ours come visit us at the window. How fun to know they really are coming to see us when they do that!

Love those hummingbirds. Ours are still here but it won’t be long before they migrate. Thanks for hosting every week. I really appreciate the feature for the Halloween entranceway. It’s a busy time of year with so many holidays coming one right after the other but that also makes it quite fun. Have a great week.

Now that you mention it, I haven’t seen a hummingbird lately. My hummingbirds visit the feeder occasionally, but they are mostly after the flowers. Thanks for the party.

I do miss the hummingbirds when they leave–ours haven’t been seen for about 3 weeks now. Isn’t it a treat to feed them all spring and summer–love them! Thanks for the party and have a great week.
