    Avian pox in hummingbird?

    Have you noticed this bird around before? Do you suppose this bird was injured somehow? Hopefully it is not a case of avian pox.

    Our Hummers

    Thanks, we do enjoy the view. We live (as you can see) close enough to the woods to encounter the odd - deer, fox, owls, bear, racoon and lately pheasants running through our blueberry fields and yard. Those windows are facing east and we have a similar view (thirteen feet of windows) facing...

    Our first migrant this year.

    Beautiful! Thanks for sharing the pics. :t: Wouldn't it be nice to know where they are born? I wonder if any of them are from our area in Nova Scotia. We go to Cuba yearly and when I see ruby throated there, I wonder, could some of them be ours?

    Feeders drained every night - bats, I think

    Wow, that is acutally pretty cool to me. I am sure if you have a bat problem not so cool, but we don't see 2 bats a year. I would have never guessed they would be attracted to a hummingbird feeder, the things ya learn.

    Hummer ID?

    I only have experience with ruby throated hummers. I would say, that bird is also a female. Males normally have a speck or two of brownish feathers on their throat or even a red feather or two in their first season. If they are completely clear of dark feathers or brownish modeling, then...

    Ruby-throated

    Add more feeders, away from the one/ones you already have. We have them on all sides of the house (attached to our windows), just too many sides or windows for one or two males to protect. If there is too much fighting, they leave and ya don't want that.
