[cobirds] Black-throated HB pair Golden

I could not find them! But you can bet that I will be watching my feeders all day tomorrow! I have lots of broad-taileds, but no rufous yet. Location is just south of 58th St on Van Bibber (just east of Hwy 93 and right below N Table Mt). Kay Kayleen A. Niyo, Ph.D. Niyo Scientific

[cobirds] Sorry, Black-chinned HB

Sorry, I meant Black-chinned Hummingbird for my previous post! Should call him Purple-throated Hummingbird! Kay Kayleen A. Niyo, Ph.D. Niyo Scientific Communications Editor, Iowa Bird Life mailto:k...@kayniyo.com k...@kayniyo.com http://www.KayNiyo.com www.KayNiyo.com

[cobirds] first broad-tailed hummer

27 and 28 February. And a healthy male kestrel sat on the same feeder tray watching the ground underneath for about 5 min on 28 Jan. Looking for mice and voles eating spilled seed? Or just basking in the sun? Gorgeous! Good birding, Kay Kayleen A. Niyo, Ph.D. Niyo Scientific
