I was not able to band over the spring or summer and the Ruby-throated
southward movement is really waning. Then, Friday, 2 immature male
Rufous-types put in appearances. Neither used feeders, so capturing them
did not seem possible.
I was out chasing Honeycreepers yesterday and I wondered if any of the
new hummers would be around today. Well, I saw a female Ruby-throated that
was literally dusted with pollen and knew that she was not a feeder bird.
Then, a Selasphorus zoomed in to take advantage of the feeder and I trapped
him pretty quickly.
So, now, I have kicked off the 2022-2023 winter banding season . . .
