    Mid-October is when I bring in the feeders.

    A soak in diluted bleach, and they're ready for storage.

    I don't use hummingbird feeders. They like the Canna plants and spend a lot of time feeding there. Early in the season they like the bee balm.

    I took our feeder down in July after only 3 sightings since May. I've seen a couple lately at the potted red flowers out front. Migrating I assume.

    I have a large patch of red bee balm, still with blooms. It's entertaining to watch them go from one flower shoot to the next.

    Still have my couple of resident hummers. Will leave the feeder out for a few weeks after I stop seeing them.
