[cobirds] Female Magnificent Hummingbird, Boulder County, 11/1

COBirders,

The female hummingbird came into the feeder this morning as usual, at 7:18.

A hummingbird in November! Such is this interesting 2014 fall. :-)

Yesterday I was watching her in the afternoon/evening sun (most likely working the trees for insects/protein and catching a few late day warming rays) and there were multiple reasonable gatherings of gnats. It seems like this year has an ongoing and abundant supply of food for this bird. She does seem to stop/hover and (seemingly) take a gnat quite regularly.

She should be around today. Her pattern appears to be the warmer (and no doubt more gnat-ful) the time of day the longer the gap between coming to the feeder; stretching ever 20 minutes to ever 45 minutes. As such mornings she is more cooperative than afternoons/evening.

regards

Adam
