LABIRDers:
I am pleased to share the next Louisiana winter hummingbird report. Thanks for all the submissions! A lot of yards are doing quite well this winter, and this cold snap ought to really ramp up feeder action. Even if you have no birds, this would be a good time to put out a feeder or two. Also make sure your nectar doesn't freeze, which will happen below about 28 F. You could rig up a heat lamp, or swap out your feeders. Remember, birds may need to feed even before first morning light, so if you pull in your feeders for the night, get up early to make sure that critical first sip is possible.
Please continue to report your winter hummer observations to me for recording in our weekly report and database, providing the following information:
- Your name - Your address (town only is acceptable) - First observed (FO) date (or, if discovered while banding or marking other birds, the date it was observed) - Species - Age (Adult, immature, unknown) - Sex (Male, female, unknown) - Whether banded, when and by whom - Photos if available for verification
If additional information is learned through further observation or banding, please report those updates and I'll make the changes. Also, please report the last observed (LO) date, if possible, when the bird leaves. This you can do more easily when the hummer has been banded and marked.
Happy hummingbirding!
