Craig, This hummer seems to alternate between days when it is very regular and days when it is very irregular. I suspect there may be a second, as yet unknown, feeder in the neighborhood. Allen T.

You may wonder how it weighs the food. It doesn't. It just eats another hummingbird. -- Steven Wright ========================================= ----- Original Message ----- From: "Craig Caldwell" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Sunday, November 16, 2008 7:23 PM Subject: [Ohio-birds] no Bexley rufous hummer or Shrock Lake long-tailed duck I dipped on the hummer Saturday 3:30-4:40 and the long-tailed duck Sunday 7:45-8:30.
