Now that the migration has started, what are you seeing in your yard, if anything? I saw some male Rubys coming through a couple weeks ago but nothing now. I think my male Rufous may have left within the last two days but will wait a couple more before making it a fact. He sometimes wouldn't come around by a couple times a day recently.

I thought that my one unidentified was gone but I saw it in the orchid tree today. There are other orchid trees in my neighborhood so it may be feeding in different trees near by. It still hasn't touched the feeders yet. I do have a photo of the little hummer in my computer that a neighbor took. I just have to have someone help me figure how to get it on this sight. I'm going to miss it when it leaves.

I'm still seeing the adult male Ruby-throated that was photographed in December wearing a band that we were able to identify a letter and 4 of the 5 numbers. I'm also seeing a young male Ruby-throated that was here in January but avoided Fred's trap.
Lynne, the second line when composing a post, the one below Subject, is Attachment. Click on Browse and find the photo on your computer. Select the file and then click open. Please don't attach large files that result in the need for horizontal scrolling. Another forum that I'm on restricts photos to no larger than 800 x 800 pixels.
You can also insert links to photos already posted elsewhere on the Web by inserting the address between [*img] and [/img] (minus the *) by selecting the address and then clicking the third button from the left on the bottom row in the "Add Tags" above.

I thought I was attaching this photo to the last post. Apparently, as soon as you preview your post, the attachment is removed. So, either don't preview your post before sending or add the attachment after previewing it. Attachments:

They are 'a-heading-north' folks.
Had 6-8 two weeks ago, down to just 2 this morning (ruby-throated).
However, for some reason or another, my Rufous is still hanging around!
Had 1 Ruby that was almost certainly a migrant last week but that was an overnight stay. Have never had any significant number of hummers observed here in the spring that I would absolutely call migrants. I suspect that those crossing the gulf pretty much head straight north after hitting the coast.

What happened to your second Rufous? I wonder if mine visited you that day?

From my look at the photo sent by lynne, Mar 13, I would ID it as a 1st year male Ruby-throat.
