Ellen et al, I'd be happy to hear of lots of hummers in the area but that hasn't been the case this spring. It would seem they are very late as the average arrival is 9 May and this is the first time in 31 years here that we have only see one or two and seldom hanging around. Have refilled the feeder three times with little to no usage.
Let's hope they are late, overflew us or something less ominous than this implies. --- John and Sue Gregoire Field Ornithologists Kestrel Haven Migration Observatory 5373 Fitzgerald Rd Burdett, NY 14818 42.443508000, -76.758202000 On 2017-05-28 02:41, Ellen Haith wrote: > I've seen ONE in the last week, where last summer there would be three at a > time in good weather. > > West shore Cayuga Lake. > > Sent from my iPhone > > On May 27, 2017, at 4:03 PM, Donna Lee Scott <d...@cornell.edu> wrote: > > I had one hummingbird about 3 1/2 weeks ago & few to none since. > However during Mark Chao's FLLT bird quest walk at Lindsey Parsons preserve > in W Danby this morning we saw two hummingbirds, both males. > Donna Scott > Lansing, by Cayuga Lake > Sent from my iPhone > > On May 27, 2017, at 3:59 PM, Gordon Bonnet <jaggy...@fltg.net> wrote: > > For what it's worth, I've had two hummingbird feeders out for over two weeks > now, and haven't seen a single one.
