When do I take in my feeders?

by Linda
(Hatch, Utah)

I live by Bryce Canyon in Utah. It is starting to get cold. I still have feeders out and some hummingbird activity. Should I take the feeders in so they will migRate? Thanks for any help. I miss them in the winter.

Comment
Yes, I miss the hummers in the winter too. Their inner clocks will tell them when it is time to migrate, and whether or not your feeders are out will make no difference. So I would leave them out as long as there are hummers around to enjoy them.
Happy Birding,
Susan
