[nysbirds-l] Hummingbird in East Hampton
Have had a hummer making multiple visits to my feeders today and possibly over the last few days as well . Quite shy, so no ID yet but most likely a rufous. Jane F.

[nysbirds-l] Hummingbird feeders
Reminder: keep the hummingbird feeders out there and filled. A hummingbird (probably a Rufous) turned up yesterday at a Columbia County feeder. I was later found torpid and rescued by a licensed rehabilatitor where it is being cared for. Once the bird is stabilized, a certain identification may be made. This is about the time that NY's first Anna's Hummingbird turned up at a southern tier feeder some years ago.

[nysbirds-l] Hummingbird
I normally don't post to this list serve, but I have a question in regard to a hummingbird report. I haven't seen this mentioned on any list serve as of yet. A Rufous Hummingbird was reported to ebird yesterday and Sunday in Broome County. I have looked at the photos attached to the reports and though I am probably wrong, I think this bird is a candidate for a Calliope Hummingbird. I base my opinion on several factors. First, in one photo it shows what appears to be a beginning gorget with a distinct white line separating it from the eye. It is a long thin dark area where a gorget would normally begin. Because of the size of the photo, I can't say for certain that it is the gorget, but there is no other explanation for that line that I can think of. Also on shots of the perched bird, the wing-tips seem to be longer than the tail. This could be a good indication of Calliope. All other features could be interpreted for either species, but I think it is worth looking into. I tried to find contact information the person who posted the reports, but was unable to locate any. Hopefully someone with more knowledge than I can do some follow up on this bird and come to a definite identification. I would really be interested in the outcome.

Re: [nysbirds-l] hummingbird additional
Looked for hummingbird around 5pm with Alan Drogin & a couple other birders, but no sign of it. Did have some tasty holiday market snacks though... Maybe it'll return in the AM?

[nysbirds-l] Hummingbird continues at Lenoir Preserve, Yonkers and Greater White-fronted Goose continues at Van Cortlandt, Bronx
The selasphorus hummingbird continues at the Beverly Smith Butterfly garden at Lenoir Nature Preserve in Yonkers, Westchester County. It now seems to prefer the feeder just inside the gate near the pineapple sage, but will use the other feeders and sage if people approach to close. I’m still leaning to an immature female Rufous but I have yet to see good photos of the tail feathers. Also seen today at the hawk watch and overhead were a pair of Peregrine Falcons, Bald Eagle, many Turkey Vultures and a few Black Vultures. The Greater White-fronted Goose continues not too far away at Van Cortlandt Lake, Bronx at the north end Directions to Lenoir In the southwest portion of Westchester County (The city of Yonkers) - Take the Saw Mill River Parkway to Exit 9, Executive Blvd. Take Executive Blvd. to its end at North Broadway and turn right (north). Go 1/4 mile and turn left onto Dudley Street. Lenoir's parking lot is on the left. ( some parking is available at the mansion, second driveway on the left from the light at North Broadway and Executive Blvd). You can also take metro North to the Yonkers train station and then take the # 6 bus which will drop you off at Dudley Street. See http://www.hras.org/wtobird/lenoir.html for a map of the park. PLEASE make sure the gate to the butterfly garden is locked when you leave.

[nysbirds-l] Hummingbird Help
NY Birders I have been contacted by a British natural history production company working on a project for National Geographic involving hummingbirds. They are interested in two things that someone out there may be able to help with. I know it is already rather late to be thinking of filming Ruby-throated Hummingbird nest building but if anyone has an active nest that is easily observed this would be helpful. 1. To ascertain whether there is anywhere within a few hours travel of New York where our hosts could go and be guaranteed to see hummingbirds in action. Ideally this would be somewhere that has a humming bird nest, as well as easily observable hummingbirds feeding. 2. To tap into a network, forum or other of amateur naturalists / hummingbird enthusiasts who may have filmed (or at least observed) the nest building process and be willing to share their knowledge / footage with us. Please contact me off list if you can help.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Hummingbird in Ardsley NY
Hi All, I just want to remind everyone that Allen's Hummingbird is still NOT on the NY list, so every Selasphorus Hummingbird should be scrutinized carefully and fully documented. My guess is that many individual Selasphorus will not be determinable, but that some will be, and that eventually we will find an Allen's in New York. More importantly than adding this species to the NY list (and the sport for birders that accompanies such an event), careful documentation will help give a better picture of the current range expansion in western hummingbirds and hence improve our knowledge about an important aspect in evolutionary ecology. Lest one think this is just idle speculation, there is currently an Allen's being reported in Massachusetts. Of course all rarities, such as this bird, should be submitted to NYSARC.
