Alas, the hummingbirds are winging their way south . . . here’s a fall 2022 migration map https://www.hummingbird-guide.com/hummingbird-fall-migration-map-2022.html

Having been a teacher for my entire working life, the season brings an extra frisson of excitement for new beginnings. Plus, in New England, it brings my favorite weather. Of course, I don’t have as much reason to dread the approaching cold as you do.

Another sign of the season we’ve noticed is the abrupt absence of the hummingbirds that have been daily visitors to our feeder for weeks. I have enjoyed watching them so much! But apparently most of them migrate when the days shorten and blooms fade. How these tiny birds manage to fly to Mexico and beyond is beyond me! I just hope they return in the spring. I hope they remember I put out a nice buffet for them!
