Numbers of wintering hummingbirds are high so far this year! In addition to the many "Western" species reported, some Ruby-throated Hummingbirds have also been reported since November 15. This report is from before the deep freeze Louisiana experienced, but with the help of many dedicated hummingbird feeder fillers, many hummingbirds likely survived the freeze! Below is the breakdown for each species so far this season:
