We’ve had our hummingbird feeders up for several weeks, changed them a couple of times and have as of yet only seen a hummer twice, both times a female.

So far this spring (?) - we have seen ONE female sitting on the edge of a feeder looking away from the cottage - none other. Might this be a result of the late and frequent cold snaps and the subsequent lack of either floral food or human assistance? Info and/or assurance gratefully accepted.
