Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hummingbirds

[Donna Lee Scott]

I just told a friend to keep cleaning and refilling her hummingbird feeder 
until after the frost, since some resident & migrating hummingbirds might need 
it!
Hummingbirds don’t know about Labor Day -which for some humans is supposed to 
mean everything summery ends!

Re: [cayugabirds-l] hummingbirds

[Nita L. Irby]

this AM there were 4 female / immature types visible at once from my kitchen 
window - one sitting and shivering on each of my 3 feeders and one perched next 
to a pineapple sage plant (which was covered with a sheet because of the 
frost).  I have been seeing 1-2 at a time almost every day the last few weeks 
(after a lifetime high for me of 12 at once on Aug 14) - seeing 4 at once this 
late in the season was an unpleasant surprise.  I wish they would leave for 
warmer climes...  Nita Irby, Dryden

Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Monarchs  a Nighthawk

Only one monarch all summer  now, within an hr., I've seen 6 They appear 
to be darker in color than I recall so does that mean they are this summer's 
hatch? All in  a S-SW flight. Beautiful, thrilling, rewarding sight!
Need to go to Seneca Meadows!
Coming down from the garden a few minutes ago I glanced up, looking for more 
monarchs when, coming right overhead, was a COMMON NIGHTHAWK, also heading 
south.
Anyone still have humming birds? Last saw ours 6 Sept. gleaning bugs from the 
cosmos buds  blossoms.
No frost here this a.m. ... just HEAVY dew.

this AM there were 4 female / immature types visible at once from my kitchen 
window - one sitting and shivering on each of my 3 feeders and one perched next 
to a pineapple sage plant (which was covered with a sheet because of the 
frost).  I have been seeing 1-2 at a time almost every day the last few weeks 
(after a lifetime high for me of 12 at once on Aug 14) - seeing 4 at once this 
late in the season was an unpleasant surprise.  I wish they would leave for 
warmer climes...  Nita Irby, Dryden

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Hummingbirds

The males arrive early and establish their territory, then they are very
busy all summer preforming their manly duties to all the females in their
area. Then no need to hang around.!!

Interesting following the comments on sightings and missing RT Hummingbirds.  
Still have our female and juvenile here in Big Flats. No males. Actually, we 
are seeing more activity than during the first half of the summer.

I have a theory on why they sometimes seem to disappear in summer, only to 
return. I think they have just found a new, better food source that may be 
temporary. It comes to mind that insects are good source of protein for them.

So, today, I observed our female RTH land on the stalk below the Monarda didyma 
flower head, and pick something from under the dried flower head.  I theorize 
it is small spiders or similar insects.  She then took flight to draw nectar 
from the few remaining flowers on adjacent stalks and again perched under a 
dried flower head to pick something from underneath.

Interesting following the comments on sightings and missing RT Hummingbirds.  
Still have our female and juvenile here in Big Flats. No males. Actually, we 
are seeing more activity than during the first half of the summer.

I have a theory on why they sometimes seem to disappear in summer, only to 
return. I think they have just found a new, better food source that may be 
temporary. It comes to mind that insects are good source of protein for them.

So, today, I observed our female RTH land on the stalk below the Monarda didyma 
flower head, and pick something from under the dried flower head.  I theorize 
it is small spiders or similar insects.  She then took flight to draw nectar 
from the few remaining flowers on adjacent stalks and again perched under a 
dried flower head to pick something from underneath.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hummingbirds

[Sally Eller]

I am wondering why the males leave earlier than the females in the fall?  I
know that they return in May earlier to establish territory for mating, but
why do they leave earlier in the fall?

Finally able to get away from the wife and kids for a well-earned break??  ;-))

Just a joke, after all the only thing the male contributes is sperm!
