[birdky] Re: Hummingbirds

This has not been a good year for hummers here in my backyard. We have only 
seen one who just visits the feeder occasionally. Changing the water does no 
good. We usually have 2-3. A friend who lives nearby has had the same 
experience.

  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.
