Bill;
I enjoyed your Belize saga! I was in Guatemala last week, and managed to find a 
half-day to go Birdwatching near Antigua. 

I would love to join one of your upcoming Belize teams... I have a little 
experience with birds.

Whew! I've been burning midnight oil trying to complete the third and final 
photo essay from my 2013 midwinter Neotropical hummingbird expeditions; tonight 
I'm finished and it's only June! 


"This Week at Hilton Pond" for 8-17 Mar 2013 is a summary of work done with me 
in Belize by undergrad citizen scientists from Keystone College in

Bob,

Yes, the conditions being experienced this month in Michigan's Upper
Peninsula (but not elsewhere in our big state) is quite typical of what I
remember from the 1970s and 1980s, into the 90s. Since the mid-90s things
have been much warmer up there in spring and less snowy, so this year
things have reverted to the previous "normal" for one year...

Hummer Lovers
First Allen, thanks for sharing these photos with us.  
 
These unusual conditions for arriving Ruby-throated in the north have  
likely always occurred.  Despite the fact few Ruby-throated would survive a  
normal winter in upper Michigan, this is a scenario that likely plays itself 
out  on a regular basis.  
 
It appears to me that Mother Nature is always being tested by bird species  
that are at the "edge" of their survival limits.  The idea of species  
testing the limits of survival is probably built into the overall strategy  of 
long-term survival of a species..  If we could view the much  longer 
over-time survival of such "pioneer" hummers, we would likely get some better 
idea 

of how successful this practice is in wintering range  survival.  
 
Once again the role of hummingbird banders can play an important role in  
documenting the survival of wintering hummer species; hummers, once banded,  
become known individuals and can be identified in future years if  
recaptured.
 
The role of torpor in wild, free flying Ruby-throated in winter is  poorly 
studied and understood.  
 
Take care guys and enjoy your hummers.
Bob and Martha Sargent

Hummingbird enthusiasts,

I have permission to forward the  posting below, along with the link to
photos, showing what our  Ruby-throated Hummingbirds sometimes face when
they arrive in Michigan in  early May. This spring, there is still snow on
the ground in many parts of  the Upper Peninsula, which almost never occurs
in most of the state, and  has not even occurred in the UP in the past
several warmer-than-normal  winters.

 27 degrees, gusty NE winds, and 2" of fresh snow overnight. I had the
first hummer arrive Friday afternoon. It was around again just before the
snow began yesterday morning. The temps melted the snow that fell, but I
didn't see another until daybreak today. New sight for me, probably for him
too! Thom 5 frozen miles north of Ishpeming Happy Mothers Day!

Louisiana birders,

Sadly, western winter hummingbird season has basically come to an end in 
Louisiana - but after only four hot months ahead, we can look forward to their 
return. Congrats to everyone for hosting and reporting your birds to the 
Louisiana western winter hummingbird database. 


Let me take this opportunity to post a report and make one last request of LO 
dates and any additional observations that you have not yet sent in this past 
winter. Please send reports to me at ejohnson AT audubon DOT org. Historic 
annual summaries can be found on the Louisiana Ornithological Society website 
(www.losbird.org), and a final 2012-2013 report will be 
published there soon. 


Please provide the following information when reporting a bird:

Your name
Your address (town only is acceptable)
First observed (FO) date (or, if discovered while banding or marking
other birds, the date it was observed)
Species
Age (Adult, immature, unknown)
Sex (Male, female, unknown)
Whether banded, when and by whom.

Happy hummingbirding,
Erik Johnson

Although it took a LONG time (no excuses here, but illness, travel, and banding 
birds when I returned to Hilton Pond slowed me down a lot!), I just finished my 
on-line summary of February's Operation RubyThroat hummingbird expedition to 
Nicaragua. It's a comprehensive report with lots of photos of tropical flora 
and fauna, so it may take a while to access. Since it's formatted to be 
compatible with your iPad, Kindle, or other tablet, you might want to download 
and consume it at your leisure. The report's now posted as the 13-24 Feb 2013 
installment of "This Week at Hilton Pond." See 
http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek130213.html 


As always I include a list of birds banded or recaptured at Hilton Pond, in 
this case just for 13 February. 


Happy Nature Watching!

Here in Dickinson TX, I still have a young male Broad-tailed who looks like
he has just finished his molt.  I had misidentified him a month or so ago as
a female.  A young male RT has about half his adult gorget.   Our Rufous
female is still here.  We have had mature male RTs drop in occasionally, but
I haven't seen one in a few days.  Our Buffy left at the end of January.
The other Rufous male, Allen's male, and RT female left sometime in March.

Humnetters,

We are all happy to see spring blossoms welcoming the incoming spring
migrants, but there are a few of the birds of winter still around.  I am
curious to know how many.

As of today, I still host 2 young Ruby-throateds, both of which appeared in
mid-December.  The female may have finished her molt, at least, her tail is
all filled out now.  The male has a long way to go.  I think his tail is
done, but his gorget is only showing 2 iridescent red feathers - up 1 from
last week.

Yesterday, the Buff-bellied put on a nice show for 'company'.  She has not
been seen today but I am reasonably sure I have heard her in the side alley.
This is the latest she has remained in here in the 6 years she has been
coming.  As of yesterday, she has been in residence for 6 months!

Two male rufous departed 4/4/13. They were the last of the winterers. Ready for

At least one of my two female Rufous is still around. I read Nancy's 
inquisitive post early this morning and realized that I hadn't looked for them 
in a couple of days. As dawn arrived, so did one of them, to the feeder in 
front of my computer, as if to say, "tell her I'm still here, will 'ya?".

Of my eight or so rufous, only about two are still around and they are 
noticeably more mature every day. The others only hung around a week or so 
after molting. The first year male broad-tailed comes around less frequently 
but was seen several times this weekend. I hope I can see him as a "full" adult 
before he leaves. Only one buffy left. He is much more secretive and I seem to 
remember that others I have had lay low while molting. We will see if he perks 
up before leaving.

From: Sheri Williamson <tzunun AT MINDSPRING.COM>

Howdy, Chuck and Humnetters,

As the original poster speculates, ash is a rich source of minerals, and 
various 

species of hummingbirds, females usually, have been observed eating ashes 
during 

breeding season. BirdWatching magazine ran an article on the phenomenon a short 

while back, but they had trouble finding any photos of hummingbirds eating 
ashes. They ended up settling for my photo of a somewhat larger iridescent 
ash-eater:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/tzunun/8207126008/in/photostream

Which reminds me: It's time to clean out the chiminea and put the ashes out for 

the birds!

I presume this is for minerals, perhaps to aid with eggshell development.

Only part of the link worked. I had to copy and paste it into my browser, so if 
anyone else has the same issue, please copy and paste. That was interesting, 
and something I doubt if often captured on camera. 

I will be interested in what the experts have to say.

Hi Tweeters,


I watched, on multiple occasions, female Rufous Hummingbirds consuming ash. 
They chase after tiny insects around a brush pile, but the nearby ash pile is 
where I have seen them directly on the ground, scooping up several bill-fulls 
of ash. Their crops show movement, so it is being ingested, at least that far. 
I presume this is for minerals, perhaps to aid with eggshell development.

Subject: LA Western Winter Hummingbird Report #14
From: "Johnson, Erik" <ejohnson AT AUDUBON.ORG>
Date: Thu, 28 Mar 2013 03:33:16 +0000
Louisiana birders,

After too long of a delay (my sincere apologies!), the Louisiana Western Winter 
Hummingbird Report is back. Please send reports to me at ejohnson AT audubon 
DOT org, HUMNET, or LABIRD. We're into spring migration, so don't forget to 
report your last-observed (LO dates). Historic annual summaries can be found on 
the Louisiana Ornithological Society website 
(www.losbird.org). 


Please provide the following information when reporting a bird:

Your name
Your address (town only is acceptable)
First observed (FO) date (or, if discovered while banding or marking other 
birds, the date it was observed) 

Species
Age (Adult, immature, unknown)
Sex (Male, female, unknown)
Whether banded, when and by whom.

If additional information is learned through further observation or banding, or 
if a mistake needs to be corrected, please report those updates and I'll make 
the changes. Please report the last observed (LO) date, if possible, when the 
bird leaves. This you can do more easily when the hummer has been banded and 
marked. 


Happy hummingbirding,
Erik Johnson

Hi Nancy and Humnet,

Yesterday evening I caught a glimpse of a very brightly green-backed 
hummer on a feeder.  Thought maybe a Ruby-throat. This morning, I 
spotted what I think was theyesterday's bird...not a Ruby-throat but a 
male Calliope.  I saw him several times after the first sighting; his 
gorget is in moltand I could see reddish streaks on the upper throat and 
some purplish feathers along the bottom of his throat.

I rushed home from work this eveningto set up a trap in case he was 
still around. Bingo!  Caught him without any delay.  What a great treat. 
I'll take a Calliope over a Ruby-throat any day.

While processing data on this dude, I spiedmy first adult male 
Ruby-throat. What a way to end the day!

Humnet,
Just saw my first female Ruby throat. She was drinking from the feeder by my 
desk and looked exhausted. As the cowboys say, the girl was "riding low in the 
saddle". I'm sure the boys are happy to see her. I sure am.

I call such behavior pre-migration wandering [or roaming] and I consider 
it to be rather typical of the winterers.  This wandering certainly does 
make it difficult to pin down the last observed date.  I am pretty sure 
that both male Rufous are gone, but I will put off sending the info To 
Erik until all of the little guys and gals are gone.

One of those males abandoned his territory and he became very hit or 
miss for about 3 weeks.  Then, he came in completely molted into his 
adult plumage and he spend 2 whole days flying displays with the shrill 
wing trill and the flatulent-sounding tail flutter to the lone female 
Rufous.

The other male remained faithful to his territory, most of the back 
yard, until the morning he left.  I saw him early in the AM and noted 
that he was very lackluster in his territorial defense.  An hour later, 
Buffy and the 3 Ruby-throateds were gleefully using his feeders.  I knew 
he was gone, gone, gone.

The female Rufous has changed territories several times over the course 
of the winter.  After the second male departed, she became irregular.  I 
last observed her on Friday of last week, but I continue to hear little 
sounds that may be her.  She was always rather quiet.

The Ruby-throateds and Buffy are still here, but I am not seeing any of 
them regularly.  It won't be long.

A few years ago, Ron Stein hosted his first Broad-billed from November 
until sometime in March.  Because this bird was initially visiting 
another home, Ron insisted that I color-mark him so that we could be 
sure that only 1 individual was present.  Four days before the end of 
his stay, Ron saw him in the morning, but not afterwards that day.  
Later in the day, this color-marked bird was noted at 2 different sites 
in LaPlace, several miles away.  By late afternoon, he was back 'home', 
but clearly his 'fly-about' was preparing him for more difficult travel.

> I still haven't had the pleasure of seeing a northbound Ruby-throatin 
> my own yard....very late according to my records.

My first was extraordinarily early - 20 February - but the second was 
later than the average date of 10 March.  Although I considered it 
unusual to see a female as early as 15 March, I saw her again the next 
day and she was in perfect plumage, while the winterers are still a 
ragtag bunch.

Tom T and I initiated our spring banding at the Owens's this morning.  
It was rather quiet and we caught just a single male.  We did not see 
any other male Ruby-throateds, but an adult male Rufous remains from 
winter.  As we were about to pack it in, Tom spied a female, so we 
waited another hour.  However, she was not interested in our trap.

Yours will come soon,

NLN

Hi Yvonne and Humnetters!

Those LO dates sure are hard to pin down. One of my second-winter 
returnees disappeared last week, so after several days of not 
inventorying him, I assumed he was headed to the northwest. However, 
several days later, he's back in his usual spotin the winter 
honeysuckle. Go figure!

In fact, behavior of all my remaining winter hummers has been unusual. 
My records also show that this time of year brings out in these birds 
what I call "squirrely behavior"...atypical ofhow they behaved during 
the "winter" months.

I still haven't had the pleasure of seeing a northbound Ruby-throatin my 
own yard....very lateaccording to my records.

I was mistaken about the female Rufous that Linda banded being gone. I saw her

I had my FOS male RTHU Friday, March 15.  Most of my wintering HBs are now
gone, but still have one immature male Rufuous, one immature male RTHU and a
female Broad-tailed.  Believe the second young Rufous left a day or two ago.

Humnet,
I've been hearing RTHU twitters for a couple of days, but I saw my first
adult male this morning, March 17, 2013. He was donned in emerald green with
a ruby red cravat to celebrate St. Paddy's Day!

Last observed the banded female Rufous on Thursday, March 14. She was sleek
& pretty in her adult plumage. Her red throat patch was quite large &
rectangular in shape.

Alas, the elusive little immature black chinned was last seen around Feb.
17th. The diva Rufous was defensive of "her" yard so he stayed on the
outskirts of the property.

Within a few days, the sheaths of the pin feathers will rupture and turn 
to a fine powder, revealing the splendid fresh new gorget feathers.  The 
effect can be quite dramatic.  I had a young male Rufous that had been 
present since 18 September 2012.  His brown back feathers came in early, 
but gorget development seemed to be delayed.

This was a very accommodating bird that generally stayed near the office 
window.  He was the first bird I saw each morning and the last each 
evening.  Last week, I noted that his gorget area was a mass of 
pinfeathers, so I watched him even more carefully.  A few days ago, I 
saw him at 06:30 and the gorget area was still in pinfeathers, but by 
08:30, the gorget was fully expanded and complete.

Once the gorget is filled in, his days of residence were numbered. This 
guy stayed longer than I anticipated, but after an early showing 
yesterday morning, his territory has been usurped by a Buffy and a 
couple of young male Ruby-throateds.  He may be just wandering around or 
he may be gone for the season.  He has given me 5 1/2 months of pure joy!

I'd say this bird is probably a winterer.  I've seen just 1 returning 
migrant, a bright and shiny adult male - on the very early dates of 20 
and 21 February.  A couple of other keen observers reported shining 
adult males prior to my observation.  I don't think observations of 
adult male Ruby-throated migrants are widespread yet, but in a matter of 
days they will be flooding in.  Females are probably 10 days away.

Three young Ruby-throateds showed up at my place around Christmas and 
all are still present.  The two young males have almost no gorget 
development.  One has but two iridescent red gorget feathers while the 
other young male has none.  Both still have white-tipped outer tail 
feathers.  It will be at least 3-4 weeks before they 'man up'.

Hello, all--

A friend of mine, Mimi Grisoli, has two hummers coming to her feeders 
on the West Bank of Orleans Parish.  One is a male Rufous with a brown 
back but only pinfeathers for a gorget, FO by Mimi last week and by 
both of us on March 4.  The other is a female or immature Rubythroat, 
FO March 4.  It's early for a bird that's not an adult male, so it may 
be a winterer.

Lanny and Humnetters
I too have some reservations about comparisons of data collected when far  
fewer feeders were in use and skilled observers were few and far  between.  
This includes my personal doubts about the ability  of earlier naturalist to 
make accurate identification of early  sightings of hummingbirds that may 
not have been Ruby-throated at  all.  Instead, some (many/most) may well have 
been lingering western  species on their way back toward breeding grounds.
 
Being somewhat reading impaired.  I need to read and re-read this  article 
before commenting further.  
 
On a personal note, I would like to thank Lanny Chambers for his monumental 
 work that has tapped into this public resource  among non-professionals.   
It is these folks  that see and report first arrival dates for 
Ruby-throated.   Looking good tall person from Missouri.

When  you read this widely-distributed AP article, bear in mind that the 
study only  compares sightings north of 33°N, due to the small sample size of 
historical  data for lower latitudes. The authors make an assumption that 
the earlier  arrival at 33°N reflects an earlier departure from wintering 
grounds in  Mexico. Personally, I'd like see more evidence to support that  
conclusion.

Louisiana birders,

I'm phasing out my LSU email, so please sent all reports to me at ejohnson AT 
audubon DOT org, or to HUMNET, or LABIRD. We're quickly getting into spring 
migration, so don't forget to report your last-observed (LO dates). Historic 
annual summaries can be found on the Louisiana Ornithological Society website 
(www.losbird.org). 


Please provide the following information when reporting a bird:

Your name
Your address (town only is acceptable)
First observed (FO) date (or, if discovered while banding or marking
other birds, the date it was observed)
Species
Age (Adult, immature, unknown)
Sex (Male, female, unknown)
Whether banded, when and by whom.

If additional information is learned through further observation or banding, or 
if a mistake needs to be corrected, please report those updates and I'll make 
the changes. Please report the last observed (LO) date, if possible, when the 
bird leaves. This you can do more easily when the hummer has been banded and 
marked. 


Happy hummingbirding,

Howdy Humnetters,

The winter season peaked a few weeks back and now, I think many Rufous 
are ready [or near ready] to head home.  One of my males, Vancouver 
Vince, seems to have already departed, despite the not having completed 
his molt.  He arrived on 11-26-2012, so his tenure has not been 
lengthy.  Meanwhile, the other male, Prince Rupert, will likely finish 
up his gorget molt within a week, and he may leave before that as he is 
staying near a feeder and regularly sucking it dry.  He has been present 
every day since 09-18-2012.  He is a real demon, but I will be sad to 
see him leave.

Tacoma Tess, the lone female Rufous, present since 10-22-2012, has 
become less vocal.  Although her colored throat patch has grown only 
slightly, the cinnamon coloration of her flanks has intensified. Molt in 
females is not so dramatic as that of males.  She has also become 
restless, being gone from the front Salvia garden for hours at a 
time.

Buffy [aka 'The Shark'] has maintained her dominance discontentedly over 
much of the east side of the house.  She rarely comes out into the open, 
but gives her 'bug-zapper' warning anytime I go near her feeder.  She 
left early last year and I think she is getting ready to head south.  
She has been an absolute delight since 10-07-2012. At 5 1/2 years of 
age, I wonder if I'll see her again in the fall.

Three young Ruby-throateds first appeared around Christmas.  They have 
become sporadic and I've noticed that the two young males, Sam Adams and 
Ontario Eddy, have added a couple of rubies to their otherwise plain 
throats recently.  Molly Virginia appears to be molting and she is no 
longer maintaining her territory.

We will continue banding through the end of the month.  There are still 
winterers out there waiting for their bands.  We won't disappoint them.

Responding to the same stimuli is certainly a possibility. And I don't even 
want to contemplate the scenario of being invaded by Africanized bees!

Subject: Re: [HUMNET-L] Dr. JB's bees

Good points.  However, I have watched the feeder stay unbothered until a
hummer shows up, and then the bees come.  Perhaps they are coincidentally
responding to the same stimuli.  We never had bee problems until late last
summer, when we started getting lots of hummingbird activity.  Replacing the
hanging Dr. JB's with Dr. JB's fresh out of the dishwasher made little
difference.  The bees returned within minutes.  There's the further issue

Good points.  However, I have watched the feeder stay unbothered until a 
hummer shows up, and then the bees come.  Perhaps they are coincidentally 
responding to the same stimuli.  We never had bee problems until late last 
summer, when we started getting lots of hummingbird activity.  Replacing the 
hanging Dr. JB's with Dr. JB's fresh out of the dishwasher made little 
difference.  The bees returned within minutes.  There's the further issue 
about bees in our area.  Feral honeybees are assumed by the county 
agriculture department to be Africanized.  Ordinary foraging bees are 
(reportedly) not a problem, but I dread the day they may actually decide to 
set up a hive on our property, because I probably won't know about it until

I like the Dr. JB's, but the bees took over late last summer.  We never had 
that problem when we lived in Temecula.  We gave up on the Dr. JB's and went

Hummingbird enthusiasts,

I was lucky enough to obtain the following photo recently while shooting an 
adult male Black-chinned Hummingbird in Charleston: 


http://www.flickr.com/photos/offshorebirder2/8450831539/in/photostream

The immature male Black-chinned attacked the adult male right as I was clicking 
the shutter.  I just wish I had the shutter speed set higher - but I thought 
1/800 of a second would be plenty for a perched bird.  Wrong! 


The adult male has been scarce since then and has given up on that particular 
feeder location.

I have the same problem every year, here in New England. Just about the

Bev and Humnetters
I think the physical dimensions of the three color combinations  available 
are exactly the same on all Dr. JB's.  Contrary to many folks who  say 
yellow attracts the "bees" more than other colors, my personal experience with 

several feeders by different manufacturers did not show that to be  the case 
in my yard.  My experiments were non-scientific, but did  involve many hours 
of observations. 
 
In experiments with various colored discs mounted on small dowels, I found  
the most hits (visits) by hummers occurred on Purple or Blue discs.  Again  
these were non-scientific experiments.  I sometimes think we have been  
brain-washed in the red color preference by what manufactures advertise.   Red 
flowers are prominent in Martha's garden as are a multitude of colors.  
 
Just my opinion guys.  Heads up, the first of the adult male  Ruby-throated 
will be detected  "coming on shore" in Alabama during  the last week of 
February.  It's not too soon to locate where you stashed  all of last summers 
hummer feeders.  
 
For those that think they all come around the Gulf of  Mexico through 
Rockport, Texas their arrival time in your area is  very much predictable and 
will vary only by a day or so.  
 
It seems to me that these Ruby-throated hummingbirds do not know that  
global warming has produced record low temperatures in the northern  states.  
When will they ever learn?  I am amazed at how very  successful they are by 
sticking to their ancestral inherited guidelines.

On another note, I  was delighted to see a hummingbird apparently taking a

several inches in the  air. Three times the hummingbird (probably a
Ruby-throated) hovered next to  the stream with its belly apparently

Humnetters
As someone that feeds a lot of hummers, and that uses about 55 Dr. JB's  
feeders in three main clusters, I very rarely have a honeybee problem.  I  
live in a rural area where yellowjackets occasionally are pests. I find newly 

hatched small yellowjackets sometimes can enter the feeder ports of almost  
any of the five models of larger PerkyPets and occasionally on one of the 
Dr.  JB's.  
 
I accept the fact that wasp, bees of all kinds and hornets can be a  
problem with most feerders.
 
If asked, I tell folks that my favorite of all the feeders that I have  
tested and used is Dr. JB's.  I do not get paid for testing hummingbird and  
seed feeders, so I have no reward for my comments on these test  results.  I 
found over the years that the choice of hummer feeder is often  based on 
"looks" and nothing else, much like buying a new car.
 
Martha and I normally have three to five wasp and hornet  traps hanging 
scattered about our yard.  We found, over two  years of testing the Oak Stump 
Industries traps that one unit can catch over  5,000 yellow jackets in one 
season.
 
Good luck with the hummers guys.

Otherwise, a useful tactic is to move the feeder a  few feet away; the birds 
will find the new location right off, but the bees  may never find it again.

Hmm, I've never seen a bee at my JB, I didn't know they could reach that deeply 
into the port. Try cleaning any sugar spillage off the outside of the feeder.

In the past week we have had many bees visiting the ports on the Dr. J.B.
hummingbird feeder. The model with this problem is all red with yellow
flowers, in case that makes a difference. Is there any way to discourage the
bees from lingering on the feeder?

On another note, I was delighted to see a hummingbird apparently taking a
bath today. We have a recycling water pump that sends a stream of water
several inches in the air. Three times the hummingbird (probably a
Ruby-throated) hovered next to the stream with its belly apparently touching
the water. When it flew, we never could find where it might have been
preening its feathers. Such a treat.

It may be interesting to some that while on the River Walk in San
Antonio last week, I spotted a buff-bellied feeding in a patch of giant
Turks cap in full bloom and nearby fire spike. I also saw an immature
male rufous feeding on a nice sized patch of winter shrimp plant.  There
are many of "our" favorite hummer plants all along the walk and I'm sure
with time and binoculars, more hummers could be picked out.

Nancy Newfield, Kevin Morgan and Steve Locke came by Saturday and
successfully banded nine hummers. Of note was the confirmation of what I
had identified as an immature male broad-tailed and the discovery of a
band on the adult male rufous. It was originally banded in Foley,
Alabama by Fred Bassett on 11/22/11. 

 

The second buffy and female-type Archilochus did not come around until
the crew was packing up and they were unable to catch either of these.
The banded female rufous has been absent for a while and did not show
up.

Louisiana birders,



Thanks for the continued reporting of all your winter hummingbirds!  The
flow of new arrivals seems to have slowed, and soon birds will be departing
for their breeding grounds.  Don’t forget to report your last-observed (LO
dates).  Please continue to report your western hummingbird observations to
HUMNET, LABIRD, or me (Erik Johnson, ejohn33 AT lsu.edu).  Historic annual
summaries can be found on the Louisiana Ornithological website (
www.losbird.org).



Please provide the following information when reporting a bird:

 Your name
Your address (town only is acceptable)
First observed (FO) date (or, if discovered while banding or marking
other birds, the date it was observed)
Species
Age (Adult, immature, unknown)
Sex (Male, female, unknown)
Whether banded, when and by whom.

 If additional information is learned through further observation or
banding, or if a mistake needs to be corrected, please report those updates
and I'll make the changes.  Please report the last observed (LO) date, if
possible, when the bird leaves. This you can do more easily when the hummer
has been banded and marked.

 Happy hummingbirding,

Erik Johnson

Dear hummer enthusiasts,

Last reminder about the Winter Hummingbird Talk and Tour this Friday and
Saturday.  Please see below.  There is a change, however.   The hummer host
homes we are going to visit are all in the Shenandoah & White Oak area in
eastern East Baton Rouge parish.  So we're going to change the meet point
for Saturday morning to the McDonald's at the corner of Jones Creek and
George O'Neal.  We'll plan to meet at 7:30am.  Please, if you plan to eat
or get coffee, plan to do so before 7:30 so we can leave promptly.

If you have already signed up, you're good to go.  If you want to sign up,
send me an email (President AT braudubon.org)

See you tomorrow night or Saturday morning!
--Jane Patterson

Subject: Hummer Notes from Casa Colibri

Howdy Humnetters,

As we approach the middle of January, the pace of the winter season 
seems to be slowing a bit.  The first 2 'winterers' arrived on 31 
August, right on the heels of Hurricane Isaac, which wrought 
considerable damage to the hummer plants here at Casa Colibri.  Both 
were immature females that stayed only a couple of days amid the throng 
of migrating Ruby-throateds, but each left with a band on its left leg.

September was an active month with hordes of migrating Ruby-throateds 
dominating the feeders and flowers.  Still 4 more Rufous or Allen's 
Selasphorus and a Calliope arrived and all but 1 moved on.  The Calliope 
and 1 of the other Selasphorus failed to accept our offer of bands.  
Action slowed in October as the Ruby-throateds dropped off by 
mid-month.  A Buff-bellied arrived and she joined the young male Rufous 
as a steady presence.  3 more Rufous or Allen's Selasphorus and 2 more 
Calliopes arrived.  A young female Rufous staked out a territory in the 
front yard.  She was more interested in the gardens than in the feeder, 
but she was persuaded to wear the jewelry.

The Calliopes were noted sporadically through 9 November.  They used 
flowers exclusively as did a new young male Rufous or Allen's 
Selasphorus.  A female Black-chinned used a feeder, but she didn't get a 
band like the immature male of her species that appeared shortly before 
Thanksgiving.  An immature female Rufous or Allen's Selasphorus put in a 
couple of appearances before departing to parts unknown.  An immature 
male Rufous arrived shortly after Thanksgiving and he displaced the 
immature female in front though she has managed to eke out a living 
without holding a territory.  An immature male Calliope arrived on the 
last day of November and he readily agreed to wear a numbered ankle 
bracelet.

5 December arrivals were 3 Ruby-throateds [2 immature males and 1 
immature female] and 2 Rufous [1 immature male and 1 immature female], 
all of which received bands.  The 2 Rufous seem to have remained in the 
area, but they do not hold territories and they are seen only 
occasionally.  All 3 Ruby-throateds seem to be sharing a territory that 
contains a lot of Ugly Shrimp Plant and 2 feeders.

No new birds have shown up in January, but banding has kept me on the 
road and often there is no daylight time to assess the current bunch.  
Today was a planned day off so I was eager to see what was going on.  
Several feeders were empty this morning.  In the 4 1/2 months that the 
first young male Rufous has been here, he has acquired his complete 
rusty tail and back but gorget development has been negligible.  Last 
week, the front yard immature male Rufous began sharing the territory 
with the female he had displaced.

This morning, she is holding the territory and he has not been seen.  He 
may have left though his back was still mostly green and he also has 
little gorget development.  The female Rufous is now holding the 
territory.  She is exhibiting a strange behavior. Several times during 
the day, I have watched her pick at patches of lichens in the Crepe 
Myrtle that is the heart of her territory.  I have not seen her actually 
pull any, but at times, she lands on the patch of lichens and snugs 
herself into it as if it were a nest.  I am not suggesting that she is 
building a nest, but I do wonder if she is practicing for her future chores.

The Buff-bellied remains uncaught, so her band number has not been 
verified.  The Calliope has disappeared for as many as 16 days, but he 
was present all day Friday and was here this morning as well.  He and 
the Ruby-throateds maintain an uneasy truce.  This is the longest any 
Calliope has remained here at Casa Colibri.

On Jan. 18, 2013, we'll hear from one of our local hummingbird aficionados,
Dennis Demcheck, about each of these species of hummer, and we'll also
learn what we can do to attract these birds to our yards.  Please join us
at Bluebonnet Swamp Nature Center on January 18 at 6:30-8:00 pm for our
program.  Registration is required as space is limited.  Send an email to
President AT braudubon.org to register.  Admission is free for Baton Rouge
Audubon members (with registration) and $3.00 for non-members.

Then, on Jan. 19, we will have our annual BRAS Winter Hummingbird Tour.
Again, registration is required so that we know how many people will be
participating and how many trip leaders we'll need.  We'll meet at 7:30a.m.
at Brew Ha-Ha Coffee house at 711 Jefferson Ave in Baton Rouge.  We'll
travel by carpool to at least 4 homes in the Baton Rouge area to see the
special winter visitors.  The tour should wrap up about noon.  There is no
charge for this event.  Always a fun time, so be sure to sign up now!

Hope to see you at one or both of these special events!
