I heard a hummingbird approach my feeder yesterday but never saw it. The
wings sounded buzzy, with more of a rattle than normal. It's possible that
it was a damaged wing, I suppose, making the unusual sound which also may
explain its late migration, but would different species of hummers make
different "flying sounds"?

I suspect it has run on before the cold front and rain that arrived last
night, but I'll watch for a while today to see if it's still hanging
around....
