We got off to a slow start with the hummingbirds this year here in south central Kentucky. We might have had a half a dozon until we put up several more hanging flower baskets then we jumped up to 20 plus birds. Around the middle of August I treated our well with the clorine tablets specific to water treatment as opposed to just dumping clorine bleach into the well. I had flushed the clorine out, waited several days to use the well all the while using water from jugs that we had filled prior to treating the well.
About the time we went back to well water (which was brought to a good boil), our hummer numbers dropped off to maybe a dozon overall. It just seems that they left earlier than we would expect. Of course my wife is concerned that we killed them with the water but I would expect that all of them would have been wiped out. Anyone got any thoughts?
