The Heermann’s Gull reported at Henry’s Lake State Park was
present until dark tonight. It acts like it’s familiar with the
area so I’m guessing it will be around for a while and probably
already has been. Time will tell.
I haven’t seen any male hummingbirds for about a week so I would say the males have started heading south. The females and youngsters are the only ones hitting the feeders now.
Looked back & my first Fall migration Rufous Hummingbird last year was July 2nd. Haven’t seen any yet at feeder, only Black-chinneds, so far this year. Checked eBird & it appears Rufous have started their southward trek. Anybody spotting some that appear to be on the move? Just curious.
