Keep an Eye on the map,, this site shows sightings as they happen! IF you sight a humming bird or any other bird you can record it here and within 5 minutes it will show the sighting's location
I tired to find it and couldn't. Do you mind forwarding me the link to it? I'd like to see if I could add it to my emails....do you think that will work? I found others but not as cute as that one.
Nice information! It is really helpful for all who need it. I like this kind of info because i like to give some new for all and also my friends.thanks for this.
OK, I have to ask everyone....is it just me or is there just not as many hummers this year? I saw my first one in early April and by now I usually see them everyday multiple times a day....and that just isn't happening at all....it really makes me sad. My friends in Carlsbad, CA said they havent' seen that many either. Any thoughts?
well, I have not been seeing as many either-- BUT I have a notion that someone in the area here has a grand feeding area for birds--because suddenly I am seeing less orioles too. so my not seeing birds might not be of any use to you???

Nice pic..we haven't seen any in a week here but they usually disappear for a bit to 'nest'.
yes I had thought of tjhat, tamara but usually they bombard my feeders the week b efore & then they dissapear for awhile--not so this year--but I guess the "other better equiped' feecders may be to blame.

I didn't post anything on the map, but my recollection is I saw the first one here in April. It buzzed my flowering citrus. They are everywhere now. When I fill the feeder, it's empty within a day. Hard to keep up.
"No crime is involved in plagiarizing nature's ways" (Edward H. Faulkner, 1943, "Plowman's Folly," University of Oklahoma Press).
For the last 2-3 days I cannot keep humminbird nectar in the feeders. and I constantly have like 5-8 H-Birds at each iof my feeders, fighting for the food. Now this happens every year about the last week before the hummers leave for the season. It frightens me that it is happpning now---it is nowhere near the middle of October after all.
What do ya all think is the deal ????
