I've still got 2 as of this morning.
They are feeding on the, still blooming, Honeysuckle.

I guess you are used to seeing them this late but for me this is more than 3 weeks later than for first two years I had the feeder. Getting rid of the Manitoba maple probably helped. How much longer can this go on??

just remember that the winds suck for southern migration.
that and the warm days means that you'll possibly have RTH for another 1-2 weeks. and then after that, you may get northern migrants.

Last known visitor yesterday (Oct 2) morning - feeder almost dry - should I refill it one more time? Ok, Ok, I'm just thinking out loud to myself...

My rule of thumb is to have your feeders out at least one week after the last sighting. I read that somewhere.
I did not see any Hummingbirds today.

And if you want a chance to get a Rufous or other rare hummingbirds you should keep having them filled in November/December.

I'll leave it out until the first hard freeze. It's actually in a better viewing location since I moved it to put up the regular feeder so if anything shows up while I'm at the computer I'll probably see it. Has anyone on this forum seen a Rufous HB in Ontario?
