Birdfeeders

Many people worry about keeping hummingbirds from migrating if they leave their hummingbird feeders up too long. This is absolutely not a problem. Fall migration is controlled by the shortened hours of daylight, not by food availability. Therefore, hummingbird feeders can be left up as long as you see hummingbirds using them. In fact, it is a good idea to leave them up even longer for you may see migrants from farther north stopping by as they pass through your area.
