Ranger109 you have to contend with 10+ species in the mix, at least we only have one species at a time We only have the Ruby-Throated variety here. I have never seen any other species.

Had to look up your location, guess my travels were west of you and towards the Mexican boarder to seel all those species Late running feeders always pick up the unusual. We get some western species like Rufous and Black chinned because they loop up then come down and go east not south. Lee- In the old days it was a well thought theory that they burrowed into Canada geese backs and rode across the Bermuda triangle from South America. Only problem Canada's don't go to SA, but teal do go down there.

My bird food is 1 cup of sugar and half of a packet of raspberry jello added to a quart jar.
Add cold water and stir for a couple minutes to dissolve. I use the cane sugar instead of the other version.
I am done now. All gone south.

They left about 2 weeks ago at my place. Feeder hadn't been hit in over 2 weeks. So, will pull them in.

We had one yesterday that pigged out and then vamoosed. I'm thinking it was one someone farther north fed all summer. I haven't seen a male in maybe a week and a half. All girls lately.Nothing today except Yellow Jackets. They can be real S.O.B.'s.

thanks the Mike. My son plays baseball for WNCC in Scottsbluff and we were out there for labor day weekend and the 105 temps. Then he sent me pics of scene just a day and a half later with snow on ground and sleet coming down. We jad just light rain for almost a straight week here on our end of state. I out the feeder away for this year, will resurrect it in Spring. Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.
