Hummingbirds in NC

Don't put the feeder away yet. Most ruby-throated hummingbirds leave North Carolina by mid-October, but a full feeder won't keep them from migrating... day length drives that, not food, so leaving it up just helps the late ones. Keep the nectar at one part sugar to four parts water, no dye.

Fall Colors in NC

Fall color hits the mountains around mid-October, the Triangle late October into early November, and the coast in the first half of November. Warm temperatures and drought may mute things this year, so expect a patchwork. You don't need to drive far for it either... Joyner Park, Falls Lake, Umstead, and the Neuse River Greenway all deliver.
