I got a text from Dave Wagner just before 9 AM yesterday informing me that she was at the feeder at 8:45 AM. Today, Rick Wiltraut (who had been one of the hosts of the recaptured adult male Rufous in Jacobsburg and who had photographed this same female Rufous at a different location) posted on PABIRDS that he went by the Wagners' residence yesterday afternoon and saw the female Rufous and even showed Dave the hummer in his scope. He said that Dave was "blown away"! The imm. male Rufous in York Co. has NOT been reported gone yet, but I do not have direct contact for info on this hummer and so it is not confirmed still present.

From: Jane Patterson <cocamila AT COX.NET> Date: Sun, 22 Jan 2012 20:59:39 -0600 We had an outstanding crowd for Dennis' Winter Hummingbird program on Friday night. We literally overflowed the room with standing room only! Tons of kudos for Dennis -- especially for his remarkable photographs! 45 people showed up for the tour on Saturday. In order to keep the groups to a minimal size, we broke up into groups and our leaders took their respective groups to the 4 host houses in different sequences so that we didn't all pile up at any one house. I think the logistics worked out very well. The mild weather was actually a cause for worry, as the hummers tend to feed less at feeders in such weather. But we managed, between the 4 homes, to see seven species of hummingbird. Jeff's house hosted Black-chinned, tons of Rufous, Ruby-throated, and a very probable Broad-tailed. Tammy's house had Rufous, Black-chinned, and an unmarked Calliope. Karen's house had the Allen's hummingbirds as well as more Rufous, and we saw the very cooperative Buff-bellied at Micheline's as well as more Rufous. To top it off, several of us trooped out to St. Gabriel to take a gander at the Anna's who has taken up winter residence at Van Remsen's. Then, just because we couldn't resist, we stopped by to see the flashy Vermilion Flycatcher at the stable in St. Gabriel -- what a showoff! Thanks ever so much to Dennis Demcheck for the program and helping lead the groups; Claire Coco and the folks at Bluebonnet Swamp Nature Center for hosting the program; Eric and Kevin for helping to lead on Saturday; Jeff, Tammy, Karen, Micheline, and Van for hosting the hummingbirds and the tour-goers; and Lisa and Nancy for letting us come see the VEFL! It was a very good bird day! --Jane Patterson BR Audubon www.braudubon.orgSubject: Re: One MO RUHU still around. . .

Please pass that on to Andy Reago. Now for a little hummer news from further north. . . As of the last reports, we still have 3 Rufous (all banded) remaining in Pennsylvania, and possibly 1 Rufous (also banded) remaining in West Virginia. The adult female RUHU in Walnutport (Northampton Co PA) with the broken maxilla was confirmed still present on Friday. The imm. female RUHU in Allentown (Lehigh Co PA) and the imm. male RUHU in Hanover (York Co PA) were confirmed still present a little over a week ago. I have not heard any news about the female RUHU in Kearneysville (Jefferson Co WV) since Jan 9th, but no news should means it's still there. We had 7 Rufous persist into January in PA and 2 persist into January in WV. The 7 RUHUs present into January in PA is a new record by far. Just wanted to pass that along.

However, these weren't Rufous Hummingbirds or other "western vagrants" folks have come to expect these days in the eastern U.S. No, they were Ruby-throated Hummingbirds that historically bailed out of the Carolinas during cold weather.

This includes of course many that were from the old print photo days. I can find no evidence that the "eye ring" feathering is something that I can use at this time. I cannot speak for others, even those in the birding community (I am a active birder). We have some super guys out here handling hummers in winter. If there is something that I am missing, I know that one of them will set me straight pronto. I would expect them to do so in a heartbeat. I have handled a lot of wintering hummers, but nothing to compare to Nancy or Fred Bassett. To this day, I confess to REGULARLY seeing hummers in winter using high-end, first class binoculars and not being able to ID them until I get them in the hand. I'm sorry if that disappoints my supporters, but the truth is what it is. Sometimes there is no magic answer, but we strive to improve our birding and banding skills. I will give you a recent for instance; I recently trapped and banded a hummer in Birmingham, AL that I could not ID prior to capture despite viewing it from every angle at close range with binoculars. When I retrieved it from my trap I was asked by spectators what species it was. To their dismay I remarked that I did not know, but measurements and in-hand views would make it clear at the time of banding. The bird was an immature female Anna's. To those more skilled than I, this must seem amusing or worst. In closing, our guys have banded more hummers that were incorrectly ID'ed by both the hosts and local birders than I can mention in one email. Folks that think this stuff is always easy probably have great life lists (I am also a lister). Confession is good for the soul. So much for being an expert after all these years. Have fun with your hummers guys. Being alive is a pure joy when we love hummers and people. Bob and Martha Sargent Clay, Alabama In a message dated 1/20/2012 8:35:36 A.M.

My nomination for Hummingbird Understatement of the Year (and it's only January!). The individual variation in plumage within each species is breathtaking, so identifying reliable ID traits requires examining very large numbers of birds. The trick in making a field guide is to use photos or illustrations that show the pertinent field marks against a "typical" bird's plumage. If a trait isn't mentioned as a field mark, it's probably either subject to individual variation, or not unique to that species. The flow chart that banders use to identify female-plumaged hummingbirds relies almost entirely on feather shape and measurements, with very little mention of color. That's how unreliable color is for getting an absolutely-certain ID. Since measurement is not possible in the field, we have to rely on other characteristics, as Miriam noted for Calliope; color is one of those, but not necessarily the most important, since it's so variable. Sometimes there are conflicting traits, and we can only make a best guess based on experience. A little ID story: In 2008 a hummer came to visit us at Thanksgiving. I trapped and banded it, and measured everything three times because I knew it was Missouri's first state record Allen's. Hundreds of birders, some with camera lenses that cost more than their cars, stood in our driveway to see it. But...only my wife and I were entitled, by birding standards, to add this bird to our lists, since no one else was present when I measured its tail feathers to separate it from Rufous. Not a single good photo of a spread tail was taken, except the one I got in-hand, and no photo can show enough of the numbers on a hummingbird band to positively identify the individual as the same one I measured. But everyone had a good time, and everyone knew they'd seen Missouri's first confirmed Allen's, even if they couldn't prove it. If you like irony, consider that Linda and I aren't birders, and don't keep lists. :) Lanny Chambers St. Louis, MO lanny AT hummingbirds.netSubject: Re: new field i.d. hums From: Erik Johnson <ejohn33 AT TIGERS.LSU.EDU> Date: Fri, 20 Jan 2012 08:35:11 -0600 On Fri, Jan 20, 2012 at 8:14 AM, Bob SargentSubject: Re: new field i.d. hums From: Bob Sargent <RubyThroat AT AOL.COM> Date: Fri, 20 Jan 2012 09:14:36 -0500 Miriam and All Well stated madam.

There is no subsitute I know of. I find field-separating Calliopes from R/A Selas to be nowhere near as hard as it once was for me. My first clue is voice, second clue is overall size of bird, length of tail and shape of tail feathers (provided they have the right color pattern) , and third clue is overall size and length of bill in comparison to length of head. And, I guess fourth clue, is how it behaves. After you've seen enough of them side by side, day after day, you get a feel for the Calliope culture. It is different than R/A. They are more shy, yet more idiosynchratic. They are, for lack of a better word, "cuter". More, cartoonish. They often feed on tiny flowers, such as Lantana and Eriobotrya. And, they like Winter-blooming Honeysuckle, Rubus thickets, dense tangles of vines low to the ground, and dense yaupons to roost and perch in. Other Western hums go straight for the larger more hum-adapted flowers like Abutilon and Shrimp Plant, and will perch/roost in taller, more rough-textured cover. But, I would never have developed these "field marks" without extensive experience looking over Nancy Newfield's shoulder, and more than a few hours company with others who have lots of in-hand experience with both live birds and specimens. I suspect anyone attempting to develop field marks for these birds using field guides and optics alone won't get very far.

Thankfully, species delineation is not based incumbent upon vocal differentials. -j On Thu, Jan 19, 2012 at 9:00 PM, Nancy L.

Is one faction still trying to move Anna's and Costa's into Archilochus? At some point, while DNA analysis may suggest how the tree branches, the number of branches remains largely a policy (i.e., political) decision. Some of the banders will remember that, a few years ago, I thought I may have discovered a way to separate female-plumaged Rufous from Allen's in the field by the shape of the white tip of r4. Well, that didn't work out, either. But I encourage everyone to keep looking for patterns--there must be at least a few that no one has noticed yet.

Locales are similar too. One has to look beyond the localized field guides to fully understand these scientific issues. Several species comprise the genus Selasphorus. All of the Central American Selasphorus are tiny little dudes. To my eye, the main differences between the various Selasphorus species and the single Stellula are the 'striped' gorget of Calliope and the subspatulate shape of the Calliope's central tail feathers. How important those characteristics might be regarding the correct generic placement of Calliope might be a matter of scientific opinions of those more learned than I am. Several older works have placed Calliope into the genus Archilochus [as in Ruby-throated and Black-chinned], but to my uneducated eye and ear, Calliope is most closely allied to the genus Selasphorus [as in Broad-tailed, Rufous, Allen's, Volcano, Glow-throated, and Scintillant]. You cannot just look at one fragment of the issue and understand the entire issue.

For example; the fairly recent (and perhaps much-anticipated) merge of Masticophis into Coluber. However, the original point of this thread, which at this point has apparently been lost, is that Calliope Hummingbird, at the present is not in the genus Selasphorus, nor has it ever been. Bottom line, as of this very second, Calliope Hummingbird is Stellula calliope, as it has always been. Again...if we want to get really crazy with taxonomic placement and rearrangement, let's discuss the plethora of changes that Gulf Coast Toad has undergone ONLY since April of 2008....and let's toss around the Efferia=Nerax genus complex. Not being grouchy...actually trying to toss in some tongue-in-cheek humor... -j On Thu, Jan 19, 2012 at 2:37 PM, Erik JohnsonSubject: Re: Fwd: A new way to Identify Selasphorus Hummingbirds in the fie...

From: Bob Sargent <RubyThroat AT AOL.COM> Date: Thu, 19 Jan 2012 10:20:19 -0500 Humnetters For me, I find no real value in this "discovery" to assist in separating Rufous and Allen's. I also find nothing in it to help with field ID of Broad-tailed. Plumage features in Selasphorus can appear highly variable, depending on wear, age and perhaps other factors. I was personally amazed at how the premature ID of the Illinois Rufous as a Broad-tailed spread like wildfire. Then resorting to DNA work on feces, feathers or whatever to ID the bird seemed a bit of overkill and much ado about nothing. From tons of experience among banders, it is readily apparent that some hybrids do occur that involve selasphorus birds It was very apparent to most of us in the banding community early on that the ID of the Illinois bird was flawed. As others have suggested, placing Calliope in the selasphorus genus speaks volumes regarding the way this discussion is headed. Be well guys and have much fun with the hummers at your feeders in winter. Bob Sargent Clay, Alabama In a message dated 1/19/2012 6:45:39 A.M.

Thanks for continuing to send your hummingbird sightings for inclusion in
the LA winter hummingbird database! Louisiana hummingbird observations or
corrections can be sent to HUMNET, LABIRD, or me (Erik Johnson, ejohn33 AT
lsu.edu). Historic western winter hummingbird annual summaries can be
found on the Louisiana Ornithological Society website (www.losbird.org).
When reporting your hummingbirds, please provide the following information:
Your name
Your address (town only is acceptable)
First observed (FO) date (or, if discovered while banding or marking
other birds, the date it was observed)
Species
Age (Adult, immature, unknown)
Sex (Male, female, unknown)
Whether banded, when and by whom.
If additional information is learned through further observation or banding
or if a mistake needs to be corrected, please report those updates and I'll
make the changes. Please report the last observed (LO) date, if possible,
when the bird leaves. This you can do more easily when the hummer has been
banded and marked.
Happy hummingbirding!

From: Jane Patterson <cocamila AT COX.NET> Date: Thu, 12 Jan 2012 22:24:52 -0600 Invited The Advocate to do an article on our winter hummingbirds. It ran last Sunday: http://theadvocate.com/home/1706123-125/hummingbirds-galore-in-area.html And our big Winter Hummingbird weekend is next week! Hope to see y'all... --Jane Patterson Baton Rouge Audubon Society www.braudubon.org ======================== *January 20 -- Destination Louisiana: Hosting and Enjoying Wintering Hummingbirds * Dennis Demcheck, long-time appreciator of winter hummingbirds will present a talk which will showcase the under-appreciated fact that as many as 9 different kinds of hummingbirds throughout North America regularly spend the winter months in Louisiana. In the summer we have only one kind of hummingbird, the Ruby-throated, but in winter the Rubies will be replaced by such beautiful species as the Rufous, Buff-bellied, Calliope, and others as they take advantage of the relatively mild Louisiana winter climate. A huge benefit for experienced and casual birders alike is that these birds are comfortable and easily seen in our yards. No long wilderness experiences or expensive gear are needed to enjoy the secret lives of these little gems from our kitchen windows. The talk will discuss the various types of flowers, feeders, and evergreen cover the birds prefer. We will present a quick survey of the kinds of hummingbirds to be expected in southern Louisiana with identification tips. The talk will recommend hummer-friendly plants readily available from local nurseries. Come learn about these rare and special birds in this introduction tailored to the non-expert birder. This presentation will provide context for the BRAS Winter Hummingbird tour the following day. Please register by sending an email to Jane Patterson - President AT braudubon.org or by calling Bluebonnet Swamp Nature Center at 225-757-8905. Location: Bluebonnet Swamp Nature Center Time: 6:30 pm Cost: Members: Free Non-members: $3 BRAS Members Only: No ---------------------------------------------------- *January 21 -- Winter Hummingbird Tour* Each winter as many as 9 different North American species of Hummingbird spend the winter in certain yards and gardens around Baton Rouge. If you would like an opportunity to view some of these rare and special birds, please join us for the Annual Winter Hummingbird Tour. We will meet at Coffee Call coffee house on College Drive at 7:30 am on Saturday, January 21. There we will probably split in to groups (depending on the number of attendees) and carpool in order to visit the homes of several Hummingbird Hosts in the Baton Rouge area. Species that we hope to see include Rufous, Black-Chinned, Broad-tailed, Buff-Bellied, Calliope, and more. Please register by sending an email to Jane Patterson - President AT braudubon.org or sign up at the presentation on Jan. 20 at Bluebonnet Nature Center Location: Coffee Call coffee house on College Drive Time: 7:30 am Cost: Free BRAS Members Only: NoSubject: Hilton Pond 01/01/12 (Rufous Hummer, Crossed Bills, Bird Sculptor) From: "Bill Hilton Jr." <hilton AT RUBYTHROAT.ORG> Date: Thu, 12 Jan 2012 11:50:31 -0500 Our 31st year at Hilton Pond Center started out rather slow as far as birds are concerned, but a trip to Atlanta was quite productive. Along the way we banded our first winter vagrant Rufous Hummingbird of 2012, met old friends from our Neotropical hummer expeditions, observed a Northern Flicker with a strangely crossed bill, and talked with Grainger McKoy of Sumter SC--arguably the world's best carver and sculptor of birds. Our latest "This Week at Hilton Pond" photo essay for 1-7 Jan 2012 covers all this and more at http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek120101.html While there don't forget to scroll down for a list of birds banded and recaptured at Hilton Pond, plus a short discussion about the current lack of winter birds at the Center.

Reports of new birds just keep on coming in! Thanks for continuing to send
these for inclusion in the LA winter hummingbird database! Louisiana
hummingbird observations or corrections can be sent to HUMNET, LABIRD,
or me (Erik Johnson, ejohn33 AT lsu.edu). Historic western winter
hummingbird annual summaries can be found on the Louisiana Ornithological
Society website (www.losbird.org).
When reporting your hummingbirds, please provide the following information:
Your name
Your address (town only is acceptable)
First observed (FO) date (or, if discovered while banding or marking
other birds, the date it was observed)
Species
Age (Adult, immature, unknown)
Sex (Male, female, unknown)
Whether banded, when and by whom.
If additional information is learned through further observation or banding
or if a mistake needs to be corrected, please report those updates and I'll
make the changes. Please report the last observed (LO) date, if possible,
when the bird leaves. This you can do more easily when the hummer has been
banded and marked.
Happy hummingbirding!

Subject: Hummer Activity!From: "Nancy L. Newfield" <nancy AT CASACOLIBRI.NET> Date: Sun, 8 Jan 2012 18:09:05 -0600 Howdy Humnet and LABIRD, As some of you know, we have been banding hot and heavy for the past week. Consequently, I have not been home during daylight hours since Tuesday. Today was a day to relax and accomplish some domestic chores, but still, I rose early to see what hummers might be in the yard. It had been relatively quiet since Christmas. Sitting on the front porch, I heard a Rufous chattering in the shrubbery. A female, banded back in November, had been in that spot for several weeks. Her white color-mark had dropped a couple of weeks ago as her plumage transitioned from one of immaturity to adulthood. Before long, a second female arrived. She didn't look familiar, but on close inspection, her left leg bore a band. Hmm . . . might she be a returnee from last year? From the back deck, I spied a very plain-looking bird that remained very quiet and elusive. It didn't go to a feeder. Around 09:00, an unmarked female Selasphorus landed on a feeder in back. OK, it was time to see who was who, so a trap went up. Within minutes, I was holding a perfectly lovely young female Rufous in my hand. She was unbanded so that situation was remedied. I reset the trap and soon had another unbanded young female Rufous. This one was nearly identical to the first. The next bird was the front yard regular sans color-mark. I recorded some molt data, fat score, weight and re-marked her. Later in the day, the plain-looking bird was in front, perched and in better light than earlier. Clearly, it was a female Selasphorus, but colors were quite dull. She remained quiet. Perched, it was also clear that she was not banded. So, in just a few days, 4 new birds have moved in. With color-marks, it will now be easier to tell one from another. Watching marked and unmarked birds in front, I noted that every one of the newly marked birds used the same perches that were generally the domain of the bird that had been present since November. The only other hummer around was the ever-present and always appreciated Buff-bellied. She has been a steady client since mid-October. NLN -- **************************** Nancy L Newfield Casa Colibrí Metairie, LA USASubject: Re: OH-FL-OH TriplePlay Recap From: Robert Protz <robertprotz AT YAHOO.COM> Date: Thu, 5 Jan 2012 14:45:57 -0800 1/5/12 Dear Allen and Fred, Congratulations on the amazing tripleplay recap! I have noted this momentous event on pahummers. It reminds me of the Mississippi-PA-PA Rufous we had here in Washington Co near Pittsburgh several years ago. That hummer was the second confirmed return Rufous ever in Pennsylvania. Also adds to the amazing number of Rufous still here up north in January! We have 4 confirmed in Pa (and I'm positive there are quite a few more that I just haven't heard confirmation about yet) and 1 in WV near Wheeling in Triadelphia. One of the Rufous still present in Pa is right in the heart of Pittsburgh and became the first hummer ever counted on the Pittsburgh Christmas Bird Count on Sat Dec 31 2011. There's also another confirmed Rufous still present in Carnegie Pa, just west of the city of Pittsburgh. As Gary and Nan would say WOOHOO!

In some years, I have had blooms into the first week of December on this plant in the Detroit area. That Rufous was reported by the homeowner as a little "frantic", which I suggested was possibly more to the lack of insects in the 18 degree temps and possibly feeding frenzy ahead of its possible departure (though it hasn't depart yet). -- Allen T.

I've been told that the last two weekly reports have been cut off at the
end. I'm trying something a little different this time, so hopefully the
entire report will transmit.
Thanks for continuing to send your reports for inclusion in the LA winter
hummingbird database! Please continue to report winter hummer observations
or corrections for the report to HUMNET, LABIRD, or me (Erik Johnson,
ejohn33 AT lsu.edu). Historic western winter hummingbird annual summaries
can be found on the Louisiana Ornithological Society website (
www.losbird.org).
When reporting your hummingbirds, please provide the following information:
Your name
Your address (town only is acceptable)
First observed (FO) date (or, if discovered while banding or marking
other birds, the date it was observed)
Species
Age (Adult, immature, unknown)
Sex (Male, female, unknown)
Whether banded, when and by whom.
If additional information is learned through further observation or banding
or if a mistake needs to be corrected, please report those updates and I'll
make the changes. Please report the last observed (LO) date, if possible,
when the bird leaves. This you can do more easily when the hummer has been
banded and marked.
Wishing everyone a safe and happy 2012!

Subject: Winter Hummingbird Tour and program 1/20 & 21From: Jane Patterson <cocamila AT COX.NET> Date: Wed, 28 Dec 2011 23:21:43 -0600 Happy New Year! Mark your calendar for the annual Winter Hummingbird tour coming up in January. We've added a Friday night program this year. Hope you can join us for both! --Jane Patterson President, Baton Rouge Audubon Society www.braudubon.org ======================== January 20 Destination Louisiana: Hosting and Enjoying Wintering Hummingbirds Dennis Demcheck, long-time appreciator of winter hummingbirds will present a talk which will showcase the under-appreciated fact that as many as 9 different kinds of hummingbirds throughout North America regularly spend the winter months in Louisiana. In the summer we have only one kind of hummingbird, the Ruby-throated, but in winter the Rubies will be replaced by such beautiful species as the Rufous, Buff-bellied, Calliope, and others as they take advantage of the relatively mild Louisiana winter climate. A huge benefit for experienced and casual birders alike is that these birds are comfortable and easily seen in our yards. No long wilderness experiences or expensive gear are needed to enjoy the secret lives of these little gems from our kitchen windows. The talk will discuss the various types of flowers, feeders, and evergreen cover the birds prefer. We will present a quick survey of the kinds of hummingbirds to be expected in southern Louisiana with identification tips. The talk will recommend hummer-friendly plants readily available from local nurseries. Come learn about these rare and special birds in this introduction tailored to the non-expert birder. This presentation will provide context for the BRAS Winter Hummingbird tour the following day. Please register by sending an email to Jane Patterson - President AT braudubon.org or by calling Bluebonnet Swamp Nature Center at 225-757-8905. Location: Bluebonnet Swamp Nature Center Time: 6:30 pm Cost: Members: Free Non-members: $3 BRAS Members Only: No ---------------------------------------------------- January 21 Winter Hummingbird Tour Each winter as many as 9 different North American species of Hummingbird spend the winter in certain yards and gardens around Baton Rouge. If you would like an opportunity to view some of these rare and special birds, please join us for the Annual Winter Hummingbird Tour. We will meet at Coffee Call coffee house on College Drive at 7:30 am on Saturday, January 21. There we will probably split in to groups (depending on the number of attendees) and carpool in order to visit the homes of several Hummingbird Hosts in the Baton Rouge area. Species that we hope to see include Rufous, Black-Chinned, Broad-tailed, Buff-Bellied, Calliope, and more. Please register by sending an email to Jane Patterson - President AT braudubon.org or sign up at the presentation on Jan. 20 at Bluebonnet Nature Center Location: Coffee Call coffee house on College Drive Time: 7:30 am Cost: Free BRAS Members Only: No ---------------------------------------------------Subject: RUFOUS From: Sunday Mitchell <sunday30 AT CHARTER.NET> Date: Wed, 28 Dec 2011 08:15:44 -0600 Hummingbird that appeared in my yard in October has been banded by Linda Beall on December 27 2011 Its now official a male Rufous approx 6 to 8 months old. I`m enjoying my first winter Rufous and feel blessed to have that little jewel in my yard.

He is very skittish and very vocal. Nancy StamilioThe Woodlands, TXSubject: LA Weekly Western Winter Hummingbird Report #15 From: Erik Johnson <ejohn33 AT TIGERS.LSU.EDU> Date: Sun, 25 Dec 2011 18:43:14 -0600 Louisiana birders,
Sorry I missed posting a report last week. With CBC season in full swing,
I have been a little behind Im caught up now and happy to provide this
summary of this seasons hummingbird sightings.
Thanks to all for continuing to send your reports for inclusion in the LA
winter hummingbird database! Please continue to report winter hummer
observations or corrections for the report to HUMNET, LABIRD, or me (Erik
Johnson, ejohn33 AT lsu.edu). Historic western winter hummingbird annual
summaries can be found on the Louisiana Ornithological Society website (
www.losbird.org).
When reporting your hummingbirds, please provide the following information:
Your name
Your address (town only is acceptable)
First observed (FO) date (or, if discovered while banding or marking
other birds, the date it was observed)
Species
Age (Adult, immature, unknown)
Sex (Male, female, unknown)
Whether banded, when and by whom.
If additional information is learned through further observation or banding
or if a mistake needs to be corrected, please report those updates and I'll
make the changes. Please report the last observed (LO) date, if possible,
when the bird leaves. This you can do more easily when the hummer has been
banded and marked.
Hope you are all enjoying greens and reds in the form of hummingbirds!
Have a safe and happy holiday season,
Erik Johnson

Subject: Happy Hummingbird HolidaysFrom: Allen Chartier <amazilia3 AT GMAIL.COM> Date: Sat, 24 Dec 2011 11:34:44 -0500 Dear hummingbird enthusiasts, As the holiday season is now upon us, I am in the position of being hopelessly behind in many things, as I'm sure is also the case with some of you. Since October, I have been running around three states banding Rufous Hummingbirds (9 so far and a 10th on deck), but have not had time to post about any of this on my blog despite my best intentions. To make up for this lapse until I can find the time to do the topic of Rufous Hummingbirds justice, I am regifting something that was given to me, and southeastern Michigan birders, back in September. On August 15, Carol Goodman emailed me with news that she had found a Ruby-throated Hummingbird nest in her yard in Bloomfield Township, Oakland County, Michigan. Over the next month, she posted interesting emails, accompanied by outstanding videos of the (almost) daily events of this nest, and documents one of the latest confirmed nestings in the state. A thought was given to banding the nestlings, but the nest was 16 feet up in a Silver Maple on a very thin branch, and no safe way could be devised for me to get up there and band them. I have compiled Carol's emails with links to her YouTube videos on my website here: http://www.amazilia.net/MIHummerNet/Data2011.htm#Carol Goodman's daily commentary Thank you for doing such a great job with this, Carol! I hope I have done the events justice on my website. Any errors in sequence or incorrect links to videos are entirely my fault. You really owe it to yourself to set aside an hour or so sometime this holiday week to read Carol's commentary and view her videos. Enjoy! Happy Holidays everyone! -- Allen T.

Newfield" <nancy AT CASACOLIBRI.NET> Date: Fri, 16 Dec 2011 16:26:34 -0600 Humnetters & LABIRDers, Last winter I was invited to take over a wonderful site that had previously been worked by another bander, who had moved out of the area. I only caught about half of the birds there and never managed to make my way back before the season closed. The host likes us to come during the Christmas season, so we were invited for this morning. The day was warm and muggy, weather conditions that do not bode well for catching wily winter birds. It seemed quiet as assistant Joan Garvey and I began setting up. The host said he thought there were about 10 birds present. Our first bird was a young male Ruby-throated. Then, we got a Black-chinned and a Rufous. #4 was a returnee Buff-bellied. We are always pleased to get returnees, especially Buff-bellieds as they can be very elusive. Assistant Steve Locke had prepared the site last week, by putting 4 dummy traps in place. Steve had to work this morning but he finished early and he joined us just as Joan was bringing a returnee Broad-tailed in. Have not had a returnee of that species in years. After that, business really slowed. We'd caught 7 and were nearly ready to pack it in, but the day was so pleasant we just stayed. Our hosts had to leave, but they invited us to keep working. Good thing, we got 3 more - and then observed 3 more that we didn't catch. Score: 3 Ruby-throated 3 Rufous 2 Black-chinned 1 Buff-bellied 1 Broad-tailed We came back to Casa Colibrí feeling pretty good. It was even better when Steve decided he could catch the 5-year returnee Buff-bellied that has eluded me for 2 months. He had his hands on a really angry Buffy in just about 15 minutes. Now, I just have to catch an immature male Ruby-throated that recently appeared here. After tomorrow, I will have to put banding on the back burner for a couple of weeks as family responsibilities call. However, I expect to be rested and ready to band full tilt after the first of the year.

This adult female Rufous Hummingbird was already an adult when she was banded on Lopez Island, Washington, in May 2011 by Dan Harville, who caught one of our birds a couple of years ago. We were very excited about this because it is the first time we caught a hummer banded on the breeding ground. Woohoo!!! Makes me want to go out and catch more hummers!

I still > have one male Rufous, the quietest I have ever heard, and Buffy. Yes, I am having fun. Buffy is the only steady customer. Hummers just seem to cycle in and out this year. My yard has never held Calliopes for very long, so I won't be surprised when these 2 little guys move on, but I hope to band the second one before he pulls out. Buffy is not quiet, but she doesn't seem to chase the Calliopes the way she goes after Rufous and Black-chinneds.

Thanks to all for continuing to send your reports for inclusion in the LA
winter hummingbird database! A whopping 27 sites reported new birds since
the last weekly update!
Please continue to report winter hummer observations or corrections for the
report to HUMNET, LABIRD, or me (Erik Johnson, ejohn33 AT lsu.edu). Historic
western winter hummingbird annual summaries can be found on the Louisiana
Ornithological Society website (www.losbird.org).
When reporting your hummingbirds, please provide the following information:
Your name
Your address (town only is acceptable)
First observed (FO) date (or, if discovered while banding or marking
other birds, the date it was observed)
Species
Age (Adult, immature, unknown)
Sex (Male, female, unknown)
Whether banded, when and by whom.
If additional information is learned through further observation or banding
or if a mistake needs to be corrected, please report those updates and I'll
make the changes. Please report the last observed (LO) date, if possible,
when the bird leaves. This you can do more easily when the hummer has been
banded and marked.
Happy hummingbirding,

Newfield" <nancy AT CASACOLIBRI.NET> Date: Sun, 11 Dec 2011 15:35:56 -0600 Howdy Humnetters & LABIRDers, I love to watch hummers bathing. Each has his or her own technique. I just watched the #1 Calliope, T-Boy, perch on the lower rim of the large fountain. From there, he took wing and dipped his entire body into the deepest part of the lower reservoir. After a quick preen, he did it again and then again! Calliope #2 was first noted in the early AM today. Woohooooo! I've never counted 2 Calliopes in the same day at my place. It doesn't get any better than this! NLN -- **************************** Nancy L Newfield Casa Colibrí Metairie, LA USASubject: Rufous #7 in the bag... From: Allen Chartier <amazilia3 AT GMAIL.COM> Date: Sat, 10 Dec 2011 21:58:16 -0500 Birders and banders, Today (Dec 10), I traveled south to a home northwest of Columbus, Ohio to band my 7th Rufous Hummingbird and my 4th in Ohio this "fall". As always, it was a great opportunity to meet delightful homeowners hosting this bird, and this time I was also able to meet up with my cousin Mary, whom I'd not seen in quite a few years. Jim McCormac, my "main man" in Ohio, has posted photos and a narrative to his blog about today's banding. To read it go to: http://jimmccormac.blogspot.com/ Two more Rufous are out there lacking jewelry, one in Fort Wayne, Indiana and one near Youngstown, Ohio. I plan to remedy that situation in the next few days. -- Allen T.

There are plenty of hummers out there and some seem to still be migrating. My only steady client is the Buff-bellied that appeared 16 October. She is likely a 5-year returnee, but she isn't catchable yet. This morning, I caught an immature male Calliope that has been here a couple of days. He had a fat score of 3 on a scale of 0-5 and he tipped the scale at 3.3 grams. Clearly, he isn't ready to settle down. Just a little while ago, I snagged an immature male Rufous that had a fat score of 1. His weight was 3.7. These birds are well-fed and they can move about with ease. Nevertheless, we are eager to see the new place and we know it is just a hint of things to come.

This bird sips for 1/2 a second and flies below into the Mexican Cigar Plant for a 1/2 second and repeats this like ten times then flies away for about 25-45 minutes. The Buffy that appeared on Christmas Day last year acted the same way. It is a very odd behavior. We have a photographer friend who did a picture but it is a little fuzzy. We also have a possible Allen's, and a Rufous, and a Black-chinned. It has been a fun December so far! Jana -----Original Message----- From: Nancy L.
