Hummingbirds

Yes, there have been several local reports on the Carolinabirds e-mail group, though I haven't seen one yet. They normally show up in the second week in April, occasionally the first week. Here's the local bird checklist with more details: http://www.duke.edu/~cwcook/chbc/trichk2002.pdf Since you mention an e-mail list, I assume that the triangle.birding newsgroup really is as inactive as it appears. I re-did my browser/newsreader a month or so ago and found it then, but haven't seen any posts yet. Your own triangle birding website is great and I appreciate the pointers - I'm one of those who doesn't usually bird locally, but rather only when on vacation so my list is missing quite a few common birds. obGardening: My Carolina wren family tries to keep up with the various caterpillars/insects eating my roses and other plants, but usually fail in the attempt. Last year, I made the mistake of spraying the roses with some commercial fungicide/insecticide - the garage got real quiet after that and I thought the little birds must all have grown up and moved out since they had been flapping around for the past few weeks. Unfortunately, I found 4 little babies dead under the toolbench a few months later as I was cleaning up . I guess the heck with the roses this year - the parents are back, but not in the garage this time so I haven't spotted any young yet. It's still early though. -- Brent Harsh - KD4PBO Cary, North Carolina, USA |
