Our hummingbirds appear to have left for the season. Haven't seen any for about a week. The females always hang around for a bit after the males leave.
One of our females from about two weeks ago.

Females are probably glad to have the pushy males gone (lol). This is not meant to be sexist-I just learned in a recent presentation on hummingbirds that the females tend to take turns at the feeders, while the males tend to fight over it.

Watching our hummingbirds here the females are pretty good at chasing other females away at times.
