Still have over a dozen hanging out at our feeders all day long.  Perhaps some adult males have left.  Otherwise, it seems that the gang's all here.  I can't imagine that a migratory influx of that many would show up day to day.  So, I'm presuming that we are still seeing adult female and new birds-of-the-year from here at the farm.  Yes?
