Hummingbird tracker

[NJ John]

I saw my first hummingbird yesterday, may 1st in northern Maryland. I heard they were in Virginia a few weeks ago, so I put my feeder out. I never saw any hummingbirds when I lived in Jersey. My Grandparents had them at their summer house in NE PA. I saw them in Peru and it was winter there. Still kinda warm.

I've seen them up in south central Alaska (Prince William Sound) on occasion - summertime, of course.

We have Anna's hummingbird all year in Portland, OR. We have a few that hang around the deck. Sometimes they face off with the cat looking out the window. Even though I see them frequently, I’m always fascinated.

This is a male Anna's hummingbird.

There's 3 different kinds that stick around all year here as well, although you don't see many of the smaller brownish ones over winter. Climate change?, or lazy freeloaders?, keeping that feeder thawed was a major pain one week in January.

The Barn Swallows came back last week, the Violet Greens and Tree Swallows should be here any day.

Maybe the Pacific Northwest is like England. Warmer or the winter than people realize. Unlike the northeast. Gulf Stream, axis, global warming…..?

Hummingbirds are rare here. Tree Swallows are back and fighting over the bird houses. Barn swallows are not expected for another week or so. Purple Martins mid May. Robins, bluebirds, meadowlarks, horned larks and all the hawks have been back for a while. Snow geese, Canada geese and Sandhill cranes moving through by the hundreds daily.

Great time of the year!

I just love watching all my bird feeders. There are so many types of birds around here. Chickadees, titmice, all kinds of finches, blue jays, cardinals, blue birds, nuthatches, car birds, owls, hawks, bald eagles and at least 4 types of wood peckers. I’m sure I left a bunch out, like the indigo blue bunting that passes through.

Cool on all birds. We have swifts around. Not in my yard though. I did leave out my wrens! My other house we had mocking birds. None here so far. Just it’s cousin the cat bird, that does mock as do the blue jays.
Oh yeah, I left out turkeys, too. It’s like watching a dinosaur walking up out of the woods. And down by the stream are sometime blue herons. I can’t stop talking about birds lol. Just don’t get me started on native fish!

here in drought stricken So California, we have everything. Humming birds frequent our lush green garden everyday year round.

we have a few hear. not as many in years past. saw a small black one 3 days ago and a big one with red breast the day before, it came up to me about a foot away and looked me over real good then proceded to the flowers where one of the big floweres was quite large and it did not know what to do with it. it turned and looked at me again like wtf? is this a trap? then went to smaller ones. then the Greater Blue Herron caught a nice snake and gobbled it down in 2 sections after making 2 pieces out of it. the chickadees are singing, mocking birds are mocking,bluejays are quiet this time of year for some reason. cardnials are singing too. and the hawks are picking off what ever they want when there hungry. no wood peckers yet. sparows are always around. house rens hear and there. and doves doing what they doo. and the guy shooting the squirls with spring powered bb gun for fun...

Hummingbird Tracker ...

Must be a very tiny device as I can't imagine them not being able to get any lift. Lol

Back in the day my stepmom would go thru a gallon of "nectar" in 2days between 2 feeders. She melted sugar in water with drops of red food coloring. This was deep in the Texas Hill Country.
Was very cool to stand still near the feeder & watch them.
Every few years there were stragglers that did not leave to migrate south (sick, old, or ?). Always wondered if they prolonged the inevitable.

Fascinating creatures.

Fond memories ... stay safe
