Is there a specific time when hummingbird feeders should be removed from backyards?
In the northern latitudes, there is no obvious danger in leaving hummingbird feeders up in the fall. Most hummingbirds migrate as the days become shorter and this has little to do with food. When you think about it, most leave long before the first killing frost and therefore there is abundant natural nectar still available well after hummer migration season. In southern latitudes, hummingbirds may winter- especially in south Florida. These feeders seem to be attracting more western Rufous Hummingbirds and a few other species.
