HUMMER SEASONS
QUESTION
When should I take down my hummingbird feeder?
ANSWER
In most areas of the country hummingbird feeders should be left up until there is a hard frost. Leaving up the feeders until then will not cause the hummingbirds to delay migration: they know instinctively when to migrate. Leaving up the feeders may actually help migrating hummers, who will pause to refuel at your feeder.
Hummingbirds are found year-round in some areas of the country, such as the Pacific coast, the lower Southeast, and parts of the Southwest. In these areas hummingbirds can be fed throughout the year.
