Dear Texas Birders
I'm posting from Cleveland, Ohio. This morning I have 2 ruby throat hummers
in my yard. Don't take your feeders down yet!

When birds are migrating numbers will change through the day. The typical
scenario on the Coast is increasing numbers in late afternoon, birds stay
over night and birds leaving after 9 in the morning. Unless something
forces them to stay most will not stay longer than a day.

Here in our yard in Baytown the numbers have been the lowest by a long
ways than we have ever seen here living here for 14 years. Most days
there are no more than 20 or so out there. We had one day probably
8-10 days ago we had 40-50 and usually we have 150-200 at this time.
Can;t help but wonder if the same East winds that blew a lot of birds

Hi all -
I was working in my Corpus Christi yard most of the morning, and there
were a few hummers present. I currently have 12 feeders out. I came
in for
lunch at about noon, and a few minutes later while I was eating I looked
out and there were a few dozen hummingbirds swirling around the back
yard!
Talk about turning on the faucet - some mechanism brought them in!
As I write this at 3:45, the numbers are lower, but still more than
this morning.

No slow down in most of west Texas. At the McIvor Center on the DMP
today there were approximately 100 hummingbirds present. In a little
over two hours we managed to catch 61 birds of 8 species including the
following:
Lucifer - 2
Ruby-throated - 4
Black-chinned - 26
Anna's - 2 (1 adult female and a recapture of a HY M originally
banded Sept
2)
Broad-tailed - 10
Rufous - 15
Allen's - 1 (adult female)
Calliope - 1
Yesterday at three locations in the Terlingua area we caught the
following:
Lucifer - 21
Ruby-throated - 8
Black-chinned - 4
Rufous - 1
Tomorrow we will see what another Davis Mts. location has to offer.

We are cutting back on our feeders here at the Chihhahuan Desert

couple of weeks. We had a great year with 7 species over several

We haven't had a Hummer at the feeder for 2 weeks now (S Parker

We have Black-chinned Hummers here.
Is it early for them to leave?
I haven't seen any Texbirds posts of sightings of them re: migration.
Thought I'd ask. Anyone else notice them gone?

TexBirders,
Today (Friday September 25th) my wife and I visited Estero Llano
Grande State Park after learning that the previously reported
juvenile Northern Jacana was being seen off the main observation
deck. We were not disappointed, and had stunning views of this
esoteric shorebird.

We can't get anyone to provide us with anything near DSL speed on our
computers and currently have a company that shuts our internet down with an
apple update. We need to update via the iCloud to our devises and can't get
internet. If you are close by and willing to adopt our devises temporarily,
please let me know. McDonalds had a slow system. We are paying a fortune
