Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hummingbird, bats

[Gary Kohlenberg]

Geo’s post on bats spurred me to tell my own bat story. 
Saturday birding my patch on Burns Rd. around 11:30 am I saw a brown bat 
hunting under the power line cut. 
I’ve never seen bats out in the bright sunlight. I watched this bat for about 
10 minutes, before moving on, and even got a digiscope picture when it landed 
on a tree trunk to rest for awhile. 
I don’t know how common this is with brown bats.  An online search does 
indicate it happens. Apparently in some species and locations it is more likely 
when there is an abundance of prey and not many predators. 

It was a fun sighting,

Gary

At our house downy woodpeckers are drinking the water from the “ant moat” that 
the hummingbird feeder hangs from.

If squirrels don’t have easy access to your roof, you might try what has worked 
well at my house for many years: the hummingbird feeders are suspended from the 
eaves troughs on long hangers of the type used for flower baskets.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hummingbird feeders & unwanted guests

[Linda Orkin]

Also I’m thinking further about this and realizing that the sources of fruit 
that squirrels and chipmunks relish in our yard including cornus kousa fruits 
and other berries are very dried up so they’re all possibly missing natural 
sugars.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Hummingbird feeders & unwanted guests

[Donna Lee Scott]

Here at Kendal I have set up a bird bath and it is used by many birds and also 
sometimes the squirrels. And perhaps nocturnal visitors.
I empty and clean it every other day because it wants to keep turning into a 
slugey pond.

I temporarily have all my feeders hanging in trees due to not getting baffled 
posts installed yet.
So, I get big ants in the humming bird feeder, but the H birds seem to get 
sugar water OK.
Again, I clean and refill that feeder frequently.

The little teardrop feeder from Agway works. I mix four tbl. hot water and one

We had 6 Rose-breasted Grosbeaks frequenting the feeders often until 40 to 50 
Grackles and several Red-winged Blackbirds took over. The grackles have had the 
feeders for about a month.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hummingbird!!!

[Asher Hockett]

We've also been inundated with R-b Grosbeaks and Purple Finches this year.
Way more than any year in the 4 summers we've been here in the woods next
to the Danby State Forest. One thing we're doing differently is bringing
the feeders in at night. They are hanging from hooks mounted on our deck
railing which is very convenient for us (and the squirrels), but I chased a
bear away in early May and I don't want to encourage his return.  Had I
known the noise I heard was a bear, I probably wouldn't have gone out there
so casually!

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hummingbird!!!

[Kevin J. McGowan]

I've had normal hummingbird traffic at my feeder this year (and, in fact, need 
to refill it soon). There's one at it right now as I type!


What I've been having that is a bit out of the ordinary is that I've been 
swarmed by Rose-breasted Grosbeaks and Purple Finches all summer. I am now 
getting juveniles of both species hitting the feeders pretty hard. Just now, 
there were just at least 6 Purple Finches sitting on the single feeder. There 
was one adult male and 5 stripey ones that I suspect are juveniles.


They've been going through half a feeder of sunflower seeds each day. The 
flying-squirrels clean out whatever is left each night.

I have maintained a feeder all summer too with no results until yesterday when 
my husband saw one there briefly. We never seem to have any despite many 
plantings for them until August or when the Bee Balm and Rose of Sharon are 
flowering so I guess it is on time for our yard.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hummingbird!!!

[Carol Keeler]

I've had two pair of hummingbirds that I've seen regularly since they returned 
in May.  I have two feeders out on the deck plus plenty of flowers.  Mine like 
salvia and catmint.  I've often wondered if the same ones return here because 
they are used to my feeders.  That goes for my Orioles and catbirds that come 
to the jelly feeders.  I had to lure the Orioles from the woods slowly bringing 
the feeders closer to the house until they were on the deck.  I only had to do 
it one year.  Do they remember, or is it by chance that the birds find it?

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hummingbird!!!

[Whitings]

I have maintained a feeder all summer too with no results until yesterday when 
my husband saw one there briefly. We never seem to have any despite many 
plantings for them until August or when the Bee Balm and Rose of Sharon are 
flowering so I guess it is on time for our yard.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hummingbird!!!

[Melanie Uhlir]

Marc:

I have two feeders out. I usually also plant zinnias and hang a fuchsia 
out for them but I failed at gardening this year. They are visiting the 
daylilies, the monarda, the phlox, and the jewelweed in addition to the 
feeders.


I have read that it is helpful to hang at least two feeders in different 
locations in order to reduce competition and fighting.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Hummingbird!!!

[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.

RE:[cayugabirds-l] Hummingbird/ other birds

[Marty Schlabach]

For years, we’ve put out orange halves for the orioles, but never had an oriole 
feed from one.  This year we put out grape jelly, and so far no orioles have 
come to the feeder, even though we have seen and heard them.  But, today we had 
a mockingbird feeding from the grape jelly.

FOY RUBY THROATED HUMMINGBIRD, male, at my feeder now.
Besides 2 B. Orioles eating oranges impaled on small tree branches near deck,  
2 G. Catbirds are eating grape jelly I had originally put out for the Orioles. 
Second year I have seen that.

While helping up & down Lansing Station Rd for our neighborhood clean up day, I 
heard a few B. Orioles, Rose Breasted Grosbeaks, & Black Throated Green 
Warblers singing. Saw/heard a pair of American Redstarts, the first female of 
that sp. I have seen here. I also saw a little Chipping Sparrow bathing 
vigorously in a water-filled small ditch by a driveway.
Didn't have binocs along since they get in way of picking up & carrying junque, 
plus it was raining steadily, so didn't get to look at some other birds present 
in the gloom.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] hummingbird aggression

[Geo Kloppel]

Both sexes are aggressive. It's pretty interesting, but if their squabbles 
become tiresome, you can put up more feeders, located on opposite sides of the 
house, or even farther apart if you've got room.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Hummingbird Moth

Hi Kathy,

Around our area, that's probably Hemaris thysbe. Here's a link to an article 
with nice photos. Make sure to look at the caterpillars!
