I usually recommend putting hummingbird feeders up on April 15th. On
average, the first one arrives in Michigan around the 10tn. But no
significant numbers until late April.

After several calls, Howell Nature Center could take the bird and the Humane Society sent someone out to capture it. It could walk pretty fast,  so keeping track of a brown bird in an oak woods with brown leaves everywhere got tricky, but if it can be helped,  it's in good hands now.  Thanks everyone. Sent from my Galaxy

I just put together a new feeder, probably pine, though the striations
look like oak. Use linseed oil? Tung oil? Beeswax? Leave it alone?

What do you think? Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions,

Subject: RE: [birders] injured red tailed hawk
Hello Rosie,
The Humane Society of Huron Valley has a wildlife rescue line, with staff who come out just for these types of situations.
They will collect it, and transfer the hawk to a rehabber that specializes in Raptors. The Bird Center of Michigan does not take raptors.
The HSHV wildlife rescue number is 734-661-3512.
Best,
Juliet

There's a red tailed hawk walking in my woods. I got pretty close and instead of flying away, it walked away. Is there someone I should call if he sticks around?

Actually, Bird Center of Michigan does not do raptors, but they can direct

Subject: [birders] Yard birds
With the mix of spring and winter weather, I am seeing a mix of my usual winter ground feeders, and the influx of Red-winged blackbirds and grackles. First female Blackbird yesterday. I am also still having a mixed flock of more than 20 mostly American Tree Sparrows, a few Juncos and this morning, a yard high count of three beautiful Fox sparrows and one Song sparrow.

Subject: Re: [birders] Mealworm feeder
Stan no longer makes them, but you can get them from Bird Haven , a truly great company with nice people. Starlings do squeeze themselves under the dowel occasionally, especially when they are desperate.. I used gaffers tape to limit the space.

I bought one and it’s taken a bit, but it is now used fairly regularly by a bluebird pair and at least one chickadee. I want him to know it’s wonderful.
