Hi All,
I am seeing the Fat Albert of Hummingbirds visiting my new Fathers Day
Hummingbird feeder that my wife mounted under the deck just outside of my
study area downstairs.
This guy must be the Sumo Champion of the Hummingbird WWF Pro Wrestling
League!!!
He would win any Hummingbird Smackdown!!
I think I can see his wings flap!! I wonder if Jim Tressel knows about him?
Is there a larger species of hummingbirds?
sincerely,
Joe Phillips
Columbus, Ohio

Did a big day of sorts yesterday, 10+ hours of atlassing in the Peters and
Pymatuning Creek areas. Bobolinks were seeming everywhere in habitat, much
of
which was being mowed throughout the day. A couple of times, in
good-looking
habitat I thought I heard a quick creeper song but I'm not sure. Not one
purple finch but I couldn't stop at every conifer stand. The alder flies
were
in the only really good spot I saw. Yellow-bellied fly was singing and I
hoped
it was least but it came over to hear my recording and I got to see it and
it
"tuweed" it's way out of the OBBA II.
Cliff swallows were nest-building on the beach building. Looked like
someone
had removed their previous work onto the floor by standing on picnic tables
as
well as padlocking decoy owls to the ceiling. We can't afford lifeguards
(or
soap for the bathrooms) but we pay people to remove bird nests from state
park
facilities? Nifty!!
