Hummingbirds

Grosh's Lawn Service Tip of the Week # 441 for September 25, 2022

When should you take your hummingbird feeders down here in Washington County Maryland and the tri-state area?
A common old wise tale says that if you leave your hummingbird feeders up after the start of fall, hummingbirds will not migrate. This is simply not true wise tale. Hummingbirds migrate due to environmental cues. Every so often some will overwinter here in Maryland. These birds either were blown off course or are inexperienced youngsters.
After October 2nd, if you don't see any signs of activity around your hummingbird feeders and no visiting for 2 weeks, then it is usually safe to take down your hummingbird feeders for the season as the hummingbirds have migrated for the year.

Make sure you clean your hummingbird feeders good before winter storing. If your hummingbird feeders are stored in a shed or outbuilding make sure all moisture is gone before winter or they crack and freeze over the cold winters here in Washington County Maryland and the tri-state area.
