I, along with a small group of my fellow ham radio operators, have been keeping tabs on late RTHBs at our feeders. Lonnie Ward in Bristol has several feeders and reported 8 hummers on Sept 29. I saw 4 at my single feeder yesterday, including 2 fighting. Others are seeing 2 or 3 a day for the past week or so. We (all very casual and uninformed birders) agree that recent appearances seem to occur mostly early in the morning or late in the evening. - Wayne Jones (Kingsport, TN) ************************************************* BRISTOL BIRDS NET LIST This is a regional birding list sponsored by the Bristol Bird Club to facilitate communications between birders and bird clubs of Southwest Virginia and Northeast Tennessee.
