Hummingbirds typically leave Connecticut in the late summer to early fall, around mid-September to early October, as they migrate south to warmer climates for the winter. Ruby-throated hummingbirds, the most common species in the eastern United States, begin their migration as daylight hours shorten and temperatures drop. To prepare for their departure, it's important to keep hummingbird feeders filled with fresh nectar until they've left, as this can help sustain them during their journey.

Hummingbirds feed their babies by regurgitating nectar, insects, and water into their mouths. The mother hummingbird will repeat this process multiple times a day until the babies are old enough to feed themselves. The young hummingbirds will eventually learn to feed on their own and then leave the nest.

When I go outside on my back deck, the hummingbirds come over to me and then they leave. They will fly by me very fast and then zoom off to a tree. This happens everytime I go out on my deck. Is this unusual?
