   I have had a male here continuously and a couple of days ago he was joined by a female.&#160;Now both have been here daily.

   <br/>&#62; &#62;We still have our pair of regulars here in St. Peter&#39;s, but at my
   <br/>&#62; sister&#39;s feeders in nearby Rockdale they&#39;ve disappeared as well.

   <br/>&#62; Hi All;
   <br/>&#62; &#62;
   <br/>&#62; &#62; This does not appear to be a great summer for breeding success. In our
   <br/>&#62; &#62; yard the only evidence of fledged young is Common Grackles, and both Downy
   <br/>&#62; &#62; and Hairy Woodpeckers. A bust so far for juncos, sparrows, jays, robins,
   <br/>&#62; &#62; finches, and doves.
   <br/>&#62; &#62;
   <br/>&#62; &#62; And the hummingbirds seem to have disappeared completely. Three or four
   <br/>&#62; &#62; were around the feeders regularly up to a few days ago, but no sign of any
   <br/>&#62; &#62; now, and others nearby who feed hummers have reported the same
   <br/>&#62; &#62; disappearance.
   <br/>&#62; &#62;
   <br/>&#62; &#62; What is everyone else&#39;s experience?
   <br/>&#62; &#62;
   <br/>&#62; &#62; Cheers,
   <br/>&#62; &#62;
