Hummingbirds: Magic in the Air - PBS Nature Episode
So many have emiled and mentioned this spectacular PBS episode of Nature featuring our favorite flying jewels. If you haven't seen it, it is a must see - especially the way the flora actually impacts the evolution of our friends. If you have seen it, by all means pass it on to friends and family. I have never heard from anyone that was not completely charmed by the interesting and educational special.
Hummer News - Vol. 14 - November 2010
Giving Thanks…
Even though it will be many months before I see a hummer in my yard again, I am thankful for a season full of visitors, as I do a final cleaning of all my nectar tubes and caps. Making sure everything is ready will help it seem sooner. If you haven’t already, use a 10% bleach solution to nicely sanitize all your tubes before laying aside for next spring.
I am thankful for all of you who have joined our hummer loving family and also for the contributions to all of our understanding them better with blog entries and emails – also for the gentle prods wondering why there hadn’t been and Hummer News for a while…
I wish each of you and yours a joyous, peaceful and warm holiday season where ever you may be...
Recent Travel and Hummer Sightings
I had the opportunity to spend some time on the Dutch and French Caribbean island of St. Maarten/St. Martin, where I saw two species of hummers I never see. Just about everywhere one could see either the Crested Antillean or Emerald Throated Carib hummingbird. The first is a somewhat uncommon, crested, hummer variety that is quite dark in color. The latter is electric green, with a tail that fades from green to electric blue, ending in black, truly jewel-like in the island sunshine. I am posting a picture of each here. It was a very nice revisiting of the season lost back home, though one could get quite spoiled with the sheer number of birds and sightings there.
I welcome you all to share any hummer sightings or stories that we all might enjoy at the blog.
