We are going to New England late September for fall colors and I’ll be birding here and there.
Does anyone have a favorite spot in Central Park, NYC, or other places in New York? We will also visit Manchester, NH, Acadia National Park, Stowe, VT, the Berkshires, etc.
Any hints would be appreciated.

I know this site is meant for Idaho sightings, so forgive me if I’m out of line here. I just read this piece and thought the group would appreciate learning about this sighting.
Thanks for the response. Yes, have watched our summer resident BC hummingbirds fly-catching, at times. Today, at least 4 ea BC & Rufous coming into the feeder. They’ve drained a couple oz in past 2 hrs.
Your welcome … I was just shooting for ID hence the feeders … if I am shooting for pretty I leave feeders out of I … now trying to decide where to go tomorrow to try and find a Broad-tailed 🙂

Ken – your photos are beautiful & amazing!!! Thanks for sharing them – Melody Asher
I agree Black-chinned. Notice the last two shots here with a change in position to the light the purple dissapears and the chin looks all black.
Irony I have been sorting through hundreds of images from the Smoky Bar Store that I took yesterday. There was a Broad-tailed Reported there on Saturday on E bird but no photos. I have not found one in any of mine. Pouring through all about birds etc. and looking at my shots and Rufous and Black-chinned of all ages and sexes are all that I have found so far but I am not a hummer expert.

Have you seen hummingbirds fly-catching? It’s a part of their lifestyle when, at least, feeding high protein foods to their young. I saw rufous catching flying insects on the Lochsa River (think Nez Perce and Lewis/Clark) three years ago near Whitehouse Campground.
