Anyone else have an unusually large number of hummingbirds this year?

I got the Merlin Bird ID app, great app.

Yep, one of my favorite Saturday and Sunday activities when I wake up at about 5am. I go sit on the covered porch with a cup of coffee and ID birds by their calls. Then I use a few of the many calls for those birds to call them in closer where I can actually see them.

Use the app all the time because SWMBO is always asking about some bird song she is hearing.

What will they think of next?

We noticed a downturn in birds at the feeders the past week but this morning my wife saw HB's eating bugs off the Hostas and getting nectar from its flowers. One also briefly stopped at the window feeder. I think we forget that most of their diet is bugs.

I often see parts of bugs in the feeder trays when I clean them out. I figure it is off of their bills (technically they have bills, not beaks).
