We have kept our feeder up hoping to attract a rufous hummingbird. On November 10 a hummingbird came to the feeder. It wasn't a rufous. At first we thought that perhaps it was a female black-chinned, but after several hummingbird experts looked at pictures of it, we found out it was "just" a female ruby-throated. They are supposed to be long gone by now. Well, here it is 14 days later and she is still here.

Very nice series! I understand that hummers migrate singly, and from Northern Ontario and Quebec! Thanx for sharing and keep looking!
