Hi Folks, Hummers could still be here - WI is encouraging everyone to put their feeders back out and I'm hoping MN will too. Unprecedented numbers have shown up this Fall and most often it's our western hummers (rare ones). Andrew Nyhus reported a hummer in Winona County just 2 days back and his photos have confirmed it's a Ruby-throat. More could be out there and they will need our feeders to travel further south. Please see Ryan Brady's excellent article below. Good birding, Cathy Gagliardi St. Paul, MN

It includes a recap with photos of all the rare hummers seen so far. http://ebird.org/content/wi/news/rare-late-fall-hummingbirds-now-in-wisconsin-1 If you haven't already seen it, this article from the national eBird team at Cornell is a must-read for birders and feederwatchers interested in late season hummingbirds. A tremendous summary. http://ebird.org/content/ebird/news/western-hummingbirds-in-the-east-set-your-feeders-out Ryan Brady Washburn, Bayfield County, WI http://www.pbase.com/rbrady ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
