8. Haven't seen my Ruby Throats at the feeder for two weeks (Central OH)

That last one I sighted took a nice long sip; getting ready? Then again, I only had a few visiting the feeder - one male and two females. Arrived mid April this year; I expect they're gone...went through almost 10 lb of sugar for refills at small feeder in front and larger one in the back because of long stretches of 90s that quickly fermented the DIY nectar this summer. Even the North Forty Inches garden tomatoes are just about finished; we usually put the garden to bed last weekend in September...patio cushions mid October. Love fall season; now it's sure getting darker earlier, but Winter is Coming!

I know how you feel though. Sometimes they disappear a week or so in the spring Walleye Sep 2022 #10
