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. -----Original Message----- From: Whitings <[email protected]> To: madonna stallmann <[email protected]> Cc: CAYUGABIRDS-L <[email protected]> Sent: Thu, Sep 16, 2021 1:51 pm Subject: Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hummers
Hi, We had the family with the exception of the adult male until two days ago.

We believe that they are the offspring of a male and female who departed a week and a half ago. I know that the animals know better than I do about when it's the best time to go south, but does anyone have ideas why these young'ns didn't leave at the same time as the other two? Also, aren't they supposed to be in Texas by now, bulking up & preparing for the trip across the gulf? I'm a little worried about them "wasting time" here.What's your thoughts?Madonna Stallmann-- Cayugabirds-L List Info: Welcome and Basics Rules and Information Subscribe, Configuration and Leave Archives: The Mail Archive Surfbirds BirdingOnThe.Net Please submit your observations to eBird! -- -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: Welcome and Basics Rules and Information Subscribe, Configuration and Leave Archives: The Mail Archive Surfbirds BirdingOnThe.Net Please submit your observations to eBird! -- -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
