Hi Ian et al,

We were able to get a good look at the Spryfield hummer this morning at about 11:15.  It did visit the feeder at the house at the corner of Ardwell and Tartan.  Fulton was already on the steps of the house and had had plenty of opportunity to study it quite closely.  Unfortunately we did not have our camera in hand.  Fulton is confident that it is an adult female RT Hummingbird - the bill is certainly more straight than curved, the crown shows no hint of grey (it is definitely green) and Fulton was able to get a look at the primaries which were sharply pointed, not rounded.
A later search for the Townsend's Warbler was unproductive.  We drove Fulton home thereafter and while waiting for him outside his house a Black-and-White Warbler flew into his "now famous" apple tree just as he got back into the car.  One good turn deserves another!

  Subject: [NS-RBA] Comments on the lingering hummingbirds


  All:

  According to the residents, the lingering hummer in Spryfield first found by
  Elizabeth Doull on Thursday, and possibly the same bird seen briefly in the
  area in late October by Fulton Lavender, was at the feeder in front of the
  house at 125 Tartan in the morning. I spent a few minutes there in passing
  this a.m., but it did not appear; Fulton Lavender was staying around to try to
  find and stydy it, but I haven't heard from him.

  I'd like to stress again Eric Mill's pleas for photos of this bird showing the
  shape of the outer primary tips, the crown colour vs back color, and a profile
  of the bird on the feeder so that its bill length can be measured against the
  measureable width of the a feeder "flower." This may seem like a tall order,
  but the only confirmed record of Black-chinned Hummingbird (if that's what this
  bird is) was established from just such phootos in the primitive age of film
  photohgraphy (which I'm still in).

  Photos may also be the only way to establish the true identity of the
  Ballantyne's Cove young male hummer. The problem is that first-fall
  Ruby-throated Hummingbirds can have some cinnamon on the flanks like that bird.
  Some photos indicate that its tail feathers have limited rufous in areas that
  are characteristic of Broad-tailed, but some cinnamon tones can rarely be found
  on Ruby-throats, according to one authority. There are other features of the
  bird that do suggest Broad-tailed rather than Ruby-trhroated, but the more the
  better of photos and observations on habits (did it tail pump weakly,
  vigorously, at all, was its comportment, shape, different from Ruby-throated,
  etc.?) I hope people can send me their observations for any writeup that might
  help in my writing up the "Doves to Woodpeckers" section of "NS Birds."

  Cheers, Ian McLaren
