Marshall,
Uh-oh. Guess I deserved that comment. N.A. records
for Nashville Warbler? Oops.
You're right [of course] about the white on the
*underside* of jaeger wings. A feature I failed to
include in my post. (you also had the number of white
shafts for the jaegers correct as well--if that was
off the top your head, my congratulations).
Yes, I still need Bananaquit, but not the
Stripe-headed Tanager (although I could use some
better pictures...you couldn't ID the bird from the
pics I took at my website--Recent Birding
Adventures/Florida? hmmmm. I knew I was a rank
amateur with the camera, but really...) <grin>
I finally put up my hummingbird feeder Sep 26. My
first visitors came 2 days later...ants...lots of 'em.
Yesterday, Oct 3, I noticed that the level of sugar
water was down maybe 2 ounces. Hmmmm. Sure a lot of
consumption by ants. This morning I had another
visitor...a hummingbird sp. Aaargh. Yes, some dope
put the feeder up to the East of the house--right into
the morning sun. Hummingbird silhouette. I waited
another 15 minutes but finally had to go to work
(don't you just hate work getting in the way of
birding?).
BTW, anybody have any literature on identifying
hummers by silhouette? <grin>
