There have been Ruby-throated humming birds at our jelly feeder this year as
well. This is the first time I have noted this behavior. There is a fresh and
well stockedon sugar feeder also being used, preference has switched to the
jelly.

   Hello all,
   We have our 4 hummingbird feeders still up with two Ruby-throated
Hummingbirds still coming to them. Â Â However, another Hummingbird has
arrived and is going strictly to the jelly feeders ( which are infested with
bald faced hornets ) and ignoring the regular hummingbird feeders even when
they are not occupied.  This new Hummingbird also visits the cana flowers
nearby. Â Â I had my camera out to take a few pictures of a migrating
Red-headed Woodpecker in the yard, Â so I took a number of photos of this
Hummingbird at the jelly feeders. Â Â Has anyone ever seen a Hummingbird at
the open jelly feeders eating the jelly. Â I am having my pictures developed to
get a better look at this guy, by the time I got my binoculars out the other
Ruby-throated Hummingbirds were harassing it big time and I was not able to
get my binoculars on it. Â Â Lu Ann did get her binoculars on it and she said
it resembled an immature or female Ruby-throated Hummingbird but it was eating
at t
he jelly feeders. Â Â Â Â
    Does anyone know if Black-chinned Hummingbirds ( which resemble
Ruby-throated Hummingbirds a lot ) go for jelly?   Or is the jelly eating
something that Ruby-throated Hummingbirds do,  but I just have not witnessed
it until today?
    Also a Huge Thanks to Tom and the WSO for keeping this forum
alive. Â Â
    Our Condolences also to the fine Gentlemen's Family, the Gentlemen
that ran the Horicon Marsh boat tour.  We really enjoyed the boat ride and
the knowledge he happily gave to everyone on the tour. Â He gave a Fun tour and
a good education on aspects of the marsh we were not familiar with.
    Good Birding,
    Bob and Lu Ann Matyas
    Franklin, WI.
