I apologize for mistakes I made this morning in my post about late hummingbirds, and thank the folks who sent me better information! I also found other stuff by nosing around in records I no longer have to scrutinize with care since I no longer do the Cardinal. Here are the corrections: I tried to rely on memory for the late date of ruby-throat in Ohio, but the Toledo bird was 5 December, not 1 December. I also find in mail I exchanged with Allen Chartier that an even later record for Ohio comes from Cincinnati on 12/8/1988! A gob of later rufous hummers showed up, too, led by 2/1/13 in Circleville, and 2/4/2013 in Greene County. It's possible that rufous hummers heading back to their western breeding grounds might pass through Ohio in March, I hear, but likely would not be reported: hardly anyone puts up feeders that early in these parts! Thanks to everyone who helped with the dates, Bill Whan Columbus ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
