(17,088 posts)At least, I saw a female today. Maybe the males have left. I've read that they migrate south before the female and juveniles.

(35,564 posts)I havent seen any males for a few days now. I really hate when they leave.

Tracer
(2,769 posts)A fairly large male at my feeder.
The other two females seem to have flown the coop (so to speak). They did everything together, so I imagine they are on their way south.
So sad I have to wait until next year to see them again.
a kennedy
(35,564 posts)on the one feeder at the same time!!!! Now this morning, its been so busy, with these two again. I think they must be females, dont see any red markings around their necks. But theyre back for the last hurrah, at least two are.
So happy to see them.
Emile
(41,384 posts)them this year because they are susceptible to catching bird flu at the feeder.
