We have a similar problem sometimes at this time of year. Our house is "upside down", occupying one side of a "barranca", a forested canyon with a very small stream right at the bottom.

It gets cold here, the house is at nearly 3000 metres, some ten thousand feet. There are possums, humming birds and field mice in the woods. The mice obviously look for the comfort of being indoors. I too trap and liberate the poor boogers!

What is amazing is that when there are ice storms in the USA, the humming birds know. They migrate from as far south as Costa Rica to as far north as Newfoundland!

The other year, instead of filling their feeders once a week, we were doing it daily as there was a "back up" delay in the migration.
