[nysbirds-l] Hummingbirds - somewhat off topic

Since the topic of hummingbirds came up today, I thought some of you might enjoy a story I picked up on Eaglechat(alaska) this morning. Hopefully the link will work, I found it very interesting. Lets keep our eyes open locally. John Haas

[nysbirds-l] very small and very big birds (migrating)

Hummingbirds, including at least a few adult male Rufous in the northeast this summer, have been migrating for at least several weeks already and Ruby-throateds have moved in good numbers over the past week or more... One way of gaging their numbers in migration is to check hawk-watch

[nysbirds-l] first hummer

The hummers are migrating.  I had my first of the year today at my feeder.  Just hope all the bees on the oriole feeder don't scare it away. Andrew   Andrew v. F. Block Consulting Field Biologist & Eco-tour Leader 37 Tanglewylde Avenue Bronxville, Westchester Co., New York 10708-3131 Phone:

[nysbirds-l] Eagle-on-Hudson

This afternoon, from the top of the Palisades, directly across from the north end of the Bronx, Rita and I were watching Osprey fly up and down the Hudson. At about 5 PM, we saw one leave the Bronx side and fly low over the water directly toward us. As it approached, we both put up our binoculars
