8/27/13 Bar Harbor
I've had 8-10 Ruby-throated Hummingbirds, all female and/or immature at my feeders daily for the past three days. This evening right at dusk two were feeding alternately at the same feeder. As I watched the both hovered the took off together straight up over 40 ft. maple trees and continued upward and out of sight. They always have flown off into nearby shrubs at dusk. I think it is possible that I saw them actually leaving on their southward migration. (You folks farther south keep an eye out for them...they were green with grayish breasts!)
