It is amazing how this question gets asked each year. Two customers will come in bragging about how many hummingbirds they have and the next will want to know if the population has crashed because they are not seeing any. It is hard to know and the people who are not seeing them are rarely comforted by any answer I give them. As with the question above, I really think that hummingbirds have done quite well this summer but I think that the wet conditions have led to bountiful wildflowers and landscaping. Hummingbirds just don’t need the humminbird feeders as much in years such as this so numbers may appear to be down when they are actually higher than normal
