 We still have Hummers at the feeder, drinking deeply to stoke up.  We know 
they're "ours" since they are very tame and hover over our heads while we read 
on the deck!Beautiful day, too!Carol S.

[cayugabirds-l] hummers

[Marty Schlabach]

I just saw two hummingbirds at our feeder in Interlaken.  We haven't seen a 
hummer at our feeders since Sept 13.  These both look like female or young male 
ruby throated hummingbirds to me, but then I've been wrong before!  3 years ago 
we had a rufous hummingbird visit us for several weeks.  I've got some poor 
pictures, which I might post to Cayuga Bird Club facebook page.  Perhaps the 
weather brought in a couple of late migrants.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] hummers

[Jay McGowan]

Hi all,
As Marty suggested,any "hummer" this late in the season is worthy of
scrutiny. Over the next few months, vagrant species, most often Rufous
Hummingbird, are almost as likely as lingering Ruby-throated. Please keep
that in mind if you have any hummingbird sightings from now on, and post to
the list if you have anything suspicious! Immature and female Rufous are
not as dramatically different from female Ruby-throated as you might
expect, so take a good look at the tail pattern and color of the sides on
any late-season birds.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] hummers

[John Confer]

I, too, had a hummer this morning, after a long time with no sighting. 
Oddly, it flew with very direct line from plants with flowers in the 
front lawn to flowers that were out of line of sight in the backyard 
making me wonder if it was the return of a summer resident. Don't know. 
Interesting.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] hummers

[Melanie Uhlir]

Hmm. I had just been wondering whether I should still be bothering with 
hummingbird feeders. I guess I will keep bothering a little while longer 
and try to get good looks at any bird who visits them!

[cayugabirds-l] hummers

[Susan Fast]

 Yesterday evening, at 1815, I saw a female RUBY-THROATED HUMMINGBIRD at one of 
our feeders.  She drank her fill, then flew off.  Less than a minute later, a 
male RTH flew in, same feeder, same port.  I'm wondering if some hummingbirds 
migrate as mated pairs?   Have not seen them today.

[cayugabirds-l] hummers and downies

[Kathy Strickland]

At a friend's place this afternoon--hummingbirds sharing their feeder with a 
couple of Downy Woodpeckers. Didn't know that sort of thing could happen. 
Rather neat to watch.
