This hummer ate at my feeders all day long. More flew in and out but this one was here most of the day.

No, the young have now left the nest. They will migrate around mid-September. Right now they are stuffing and buffing themselves up in preparation for the short but ARDUOUS flight to South America.

let's go with them. When my daughter was in Costa Rico last month she said they're everywhere all the time.

Costa Rica is one of the hottest spots on EARTH for birdwatching. Much of their tourist industry is BASED on birdwatching.
