I thought some of you might be interested in the hummingbird forum found on
www.gardenweb.com
The link specific to the hummingbirds is
http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/hummingbird/. There is already a thread ;
going about the hummers at the Smithsonian.
You can read the threads without becoming a member, however, posting to the
forum requires membership.
There is also a bird watching forum, a bluebird forum and a raptor forum. I'm
sure there are many others of interest that I haven't gotten to yet. Enjoy!

Subject: [va-bird] Re: No Rufous at noon
Rufous watchers,
I am currently keeping a sightings log for the Records Committee: if you
have a non-sighting (or a sighting!) to report, particularly in the next
few days, please let me know. The committee would like to get an accurate
"last sighting" date, and it helps to know if the Rufous isn't being
reported because no one has been looking, or because she may have actually
moved on (although I'm sure we all hope she'll stick around a while
longer!).
Laura Farron
Laura is "right on" asking for non-sightings as well as sightings. Last
sighting dates are much tougher to determine than first sighting dates, so
send in any info you gather. Typically, wintering hums tend to leave their
winter homes sometime in January, so the Rufous might be off on her spring
migration trek at any time. If you want to see her before she's off, you'd
better hoof it over to the SI quick!
