We often have hummingbirds fly by this time of year when we are out on =
the water (had one yesterday and the other whale watch boat from Grand =
Manan saw 4) and they are definitely attracted to any red or orange =
object.  They are migrating, sometimes together, sometimes solo.  On =
occasion they will stay for a while before moving on, especially when it =
is foggy.

  Subject: [NatureNS] Hummingbirds on a whale watch


  One of the passengers whale-watching on the Bay of Fundy yesterday was =
wearing a bright red ball cap. We were observing a pair of humpbacks =
when all of a sudden two hummingbirds zoomed in; one briefly lit on the =
cap, and then they flew off over the water. We were about three or four =
miles offshore at the time. A bit later a lone hummingbird also flew =
over the boat.

  Are they migrating? And does anyone know if two would ordinarily =
travel together?

  They looked really tiny way out there! =20
