They
were there as of last week, but they’re gone as of yesterday; at least by us
anyway. Yep fall is officially here for me, the hummingbirds are gone. L

Its
leaving is always rather abrupt. Like us, they don’t sit around the watering
hole discussing the “whens” and the “wherefores” of their trip. The males
aren’t pouring over the Trip Ticks while the females pack. Nope, a single bird
will react to the angle of the sun, run it through its little bird brain and
say, “gotta go!” It will go down one last time to the high energy libation
station and throw back as much posey juice or sugar water as it can hold and
zip, it’s gone. No goodbyes, no “see you at the gulf”, no “have a great trip
everybody!” Just Gone!
Don’t
be looking for “thank you notes”, or “see you next spring” pecked in the dirt
either; they will just take off.
I won’t take the feeders in for another week just
yet, in case some “fly throughs” need a shot of “go juice” to help them along
there three to four thousand mile journey.
