I get hummers at the beginning of June and then don’t see them for several weeks. am I doing something wrong or are they nesting during that period?

I am seeing very few hummingbirds in west central Mn this summer. This is unusual and my neighbors report the same. I hope it’s just a normal fluctuation but I hope they are not going the way of the Monarchs and honeybees.

Will hummingbirds return if you are gone and they leave because they are not feed for a few days?

I live in Northcentral Arkansas. I had a large amount of hummingbirds all last week, but this week I haven’t seen one. What could possibly be the problem?

I put my feeders up later than usual. Didn’t see any for a few weeks. I keep cleaning and changing the food and even added another feeder. It’s well into June now ane I’ve only seen three glimpses of hummers. By now they’re usually fighting over them. I live in middle tennessee. I’m also worried. The only thing I may contribute to this is that we had an abnormal amount of rain this year so far. Maybe that’s the reason?
