In Richmond's northside, I had a hummer at the salvia last week.

Hello, Naseem!
According to feedback from my articles, most of my readers are reporting the
same date of Oct. 5th. There have been a few stragglers (Farmville,Victoria,
Brunswick, Campbell Co.) reported on the 6th and 7th.
Likewise, this may prove to be a good year for winter hummingbirds. Several
have been reported in Southside Virginia. I think my Selasphorus has left, but
the other - the "suspect Calliope" remains. Bruce Peterjohn saw the photos
and is undecided as well. While he is leaning toward the bird being a very
small, late molting Ruby-throat yet, it has other features that could possibly
tilt the ID toward being a Calliope. He asked that if the bird were still
around by end of next week, take another photo and contact him again. This
hummer shows no signs of leaving. We will see.
You might want to post this. I can not log onto our bird net.
Thanks,
Joe Lively

A cold front came through last night bringing in the coldest morning of the
fall. It also came with some birds. I saw 3 chipping sparrows and 3 pine
siskins this morning. This is the first time I have ever observed pine siskins
in our yard. It took me some time to distinguish them from goldfinches (which
did not show up this morning).

PS. Anyone seen hummingbirds lately? Especially in the Richmond to Midlothian
area?
