(13,901 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.

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
(29,711 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.
