RE: [cayugabirds-l] Hummingbird!!!

2017-07-27 Thread Kelly Lee Smith
We have a sopping wet male who continues to guard our feeder. He was missing 
for about a month but is back now. I guess he found something better to eat for 
a while... One of his favorite perches is the end of a zip tie that was placed 
on a fence long ago.

As we were talking with our son Chris in our living room on Tuesday, he 
exclaimed excitedly, "A hummingbird just came to your feeder!!"  It moved out 
of sight, but soon returned.  We had not seen one at our feeders since May 
11 

I've written about this phenomenon before.  To paraphrase the "Field of Dreams" 
movie, when he's here, the birds will come!  This is 
probably purely a matter of coincidence.   HOWEVER,  it has happened 
enough times before to make me suspect that perhaps other "forces" may be at 
play.

Have others of you been seeing hummingbirds of late?  If not, maybe I could 
send our son to your house!

Larry

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Ominous

I saw my first hummingbird yesterday at an Amish greenhouse in SummerHill; the 
Amish ladies said the birds have been in the greenhouses for a couple of weeks.

Along the west shore of Cayuga Lake we occasionally have up to three 
Hummingbirds at a time at either feeder. So far this spring (?) - we have seen 
ONE female sitting on the edge of a feeder looking away from the cottage - none 
other. Might this be a result of the late and frequent cold snaps and the 
subsequent lack of either floral food or human assistance?

Info and/or assurance gratefully accepted.

[cayugabirds-l] Green heron yard birds

2016-05-22 Thread Kelly Lee Smith
A pair of green herons landed in trees between the house and the barn. By the 
time I grabbed my camera & got my sister in law off the phone, they were gone. 
First sighting this year; they've have hung in the same trees in past years.  
Interesting yard birds!

Someone just called the lab to report a large, black dead bird, which he 
claimed was a bird of prey, on Turkey Hill Rd. If anyone's up that way, 
please check it out.
