Ruby-throated hummingbird

Ruby-throated hummingbird
Very soon, they will be flying across the Gulf of México to Central America.
I have seen none of them today - 30 September 2017. I guess they have departed. 2 October 2017: I haven't seen any hummingbirds since. They are really gone.

I expect them to leave very soon, possibly when the cold front comes through later today.

... the blurred wings are a dramatic indication of how fast the wings are going; better perhaps than sharply freezing them at faster shutter speed ...

... it seems to me that they are very territorial, always chasing each other away from my feeder ...

They are amazing flyers. I'm not sure territorial is the right word. To me, it seems they just don't like each other, no matter where they are.

... yah, you're right: "territorial" is just pseudo-scientific ... I have been calling them sociopaths all Summer ...

Thanks, Dörthe. My best estimate is they left here on 29 September. I hope they have a nice winter.
