Dennis is so right. We are still honored hosts of the enthralling undocumented
Mexican hummingbird. She is charming, talented, charismatic and chic. Check
out her head shot photo session with Dave Freriks :

She is a Broad-Billed Hummer whose clan almost never, never comes north of the
Texas-Mexican border...we are heating our nectar these days as the temperature
drops thanks to Dan Panetti of Birds Unliminted...will she still be here in the
AM??? We'll see.

Hi:
Since the Hummer is only 1/2 mile from where I live it is easy to make a drive
by and take a look.
Today and yesterday around 1:30 - 2:00 PM it was very active. Was not out of
sight longer than 2-3
Minutes. Only the workmen are there and the owners are great. It goes from one
feeder to the other
up and over the house, or zooms around the house. Today I sat in one of the
plastic lawn chairs in back
and took several photo's that I have no checked yet. However, just letting
everyone know that last nights
cold snap did not have any affect. This is the 4th time I have been there at
this period of time. Never more
than a few minutes.
..........drove to Sheboygan and really covered North Point and all the
breakers
for over two hours. No Phalarope!
...that Merlin really seems to have taken up residence there. One Black-backed,
One Thayer's, other normal gulls.
and female C. Mergansers were too many to count. A few Buffleheads, One
Canvasback, a couple of strings of
Long-tailed Ducks and approximately 5 Horned Grebes. Not counting the beggars
at the parking lot (mallards, geese
and black ducks). Not much activity any where else in Sheboygan.
