[birdky] Re: Hummingbirds

LBL is having their annual hummingbird festival this weekend. They band hummingbirds and have interesting programs for adults and kids alike. I've been there when 50 to 100 hummingbirds were working the feeder. It sounds like a flock of teal. Check it out if you get a chance. http://www.lbl.org/CAL97TDNatureStation.html

Joanie and I saw our first juvenile hummers of the season on July 20 and they have increased steadily in number since. For those who don't live in an area with nesting hummers and don't have them during early summer, now is the time to put out feeders. With juvs fledging and adults moving after breeding being over, August and September are peak months for hummer numbers and also a good time for vagrants. Look at those hummers closely and please report any that may be suspected of being something other than a Ruby-throated.
