[cobirds] Ruby-throated Hummingbird at Lamar Community College

Birders,

I observed a male Ruby-throated Hummingbird actively flycatching in the
north end of the Lamar Community College woods during my one hour visit
late this morning. It was just south of the concrete bench. Also in this
area -- a White-throated Sparrow. Farther south in the grove, I had a
Broad-winged Hawk.

I hope the hummingbird stays and delights many birders that will be in
Lamar for the CFO Convention, which starts Thursday.

I got to witness a spectacular interaction between two Cedar Waxwings
there today. They sat next to each other on a branch, and passed a green
berry between each other at least 10 times, with neither bird eating the
berry. This must be a courtship behavior.
