I went to Musicks Campground this evening to get a look at
the Rufous Hummingbird. Mae Musick listed on the sign in sheet that she last
saw the hummer at 5:10 pm yesterday 1-11-2010. I looked for a while with no
luck so I left and went to Osceola Island for a quick run through. I then
returned to Musicks to try one more time, Mae came out and talked to me, and
she said the hummer was really eating a lot last night, more than normal.
She felt it has moved on, as she hasn't seen it all day and considering the
way it was eating last night she is probably right. I hope nothing has
happened to it.
I did see a red-tail hawk on a kill in a field, I stopped to get
a look and it flew up in a tree. While I was enjoying it, I noticed another
red-tail was sitting across from it in the same tree. Both were adults, but
I didn't notice any significant size difference. Are the red-tails preparing
for the mating season this early? They seemed to be playing, hopping from
one limb to another. I also found a red phase eastern screech owl in one of
Mae's owl boxes, it was sitting in the entrance waiting until dark to hunt.
The complete list from today is below.
