Wednesday 7-28-2004 A post-breeding wanderer/migrant, a female Cerulean Warbler was observed this evening in the bushes and trees above the bird bath/drip. There have been many Ruby-throated Hummingbirds at the feeders and flowers the past couple of weeks. With six feeders up, there has been three to four or more birds fighting to control each feeder. Several adult males and females and a few juveniles have been observed. All that work I put in to planting more and more hummer flowers this spring is starting to pay off! I took a photo of a juv. male hummer with a hooked bill deformity if anyone wants to see. Jackie B.
