Date: 12/10/24 6:33 am From: Johnson, Erik via groups.io <Erik.Johnson...> Subject: [labird] Louisiana Winter Hummingbird Report #4
LAbird and HUMNET,
You all are keeping me busy! There continues to be a steady stream of winter hummingbird reports with over 300 birds reported thus far. It's surprisingly sparse for the "Rocky Mountain species" (Calliope and Broad-tailed), but above average for Black-chinned and Broad-billed. Still no Allen's, but I'll bet there are a couple lurking out there still being called "Rufous/Allen's." The young males will get easier to pick out as they work through their winter molt.
Please continue to report your winter hummer observations to me for recording in the LA Winter Hummingbird 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
- Send photos if available to confirm above details
Also, please report the last observed (LO) date, if possible, when the bird leaves.
Happy hummingbirding!

Dear Erik:
Here is a link to my eBird checklist with photos from Tuesday, 3 December 2024: https://ebird.org/checklist/S204380766. Some show purple gorget feathers, confirming our belief that one of these immature males is a black-chinned hummingbird (I suspect that these are the same 2 hummingbirds reported 19 November 2024). Some photos show red gorget feathers, confirming our belief that one of these immature males is a ruby-throated hummingbird.
Thanks,
Seth

Dear Erik:
This morning Mark Meunier and I saw and I photographed two immature male hummingbirds. This is my first report for the 2024-2025 season at NOBG.
* New Orleans Botanical Garden at City Park, in the Butterfly Garden
* FO 19 November 2024
* Black-chinned hummingbird
* Immature
* Male
#2
* Mark Meunier and Seth Nehrbass
* New Orleans Botanical Garden at City Park, in the Hummingbird Garden (this one is a rules follower)
* FO 19 November 2024
* Ruby-throated hummingbird
* Immature
* Male
Mark may be able to revise the first-observed date.
Dear Nancy:
Please let us know if you would like to try to catch and band these. The black-chinned used the feeder today and the ruby-throated was near another feeder.
Thanks,
Seth

Date: 12/4/24 5:29 am From: John Dillon via groups.io <kisforkryptonite...> Subject: [labird] Pop-up February LOS Field Trip
LOS is offering another fantastic field trip, 1 February, 2025, not previously listed in the Winter newsletter. Come along with John Nelson as we take a trip beside the Mississippi River in Plaquemines Parish. This will be an all day trip. Up to 10 participants. Carpooling is recommended.
We will meet at 7:30 am in the Breaux Mart parking lot, (7902 LA-23, Belle Chasse, LA 70037 <https://www.google.com/maps/search/lot,+%287902+LA-23,+Belle+Chasse,+LA+70037?entry=gmail&source=g>, on the right just past the intersection with Hwy 406).
From here we will caravan downriver to our first stop, West Ravenna Road.
This a good spot for Western Kingbirds, Say’s Phoebe, Vermillion Flycatcher, Myiarchus flycatchers as well as a variety of raptors including Swainson’s Hawk. Groove-billed Ani is also a possibility.
Next stop is Diamond. There are often Scissor-tails and Western Kingbirds on the fences and power lines around the baseball field, and frequently a Vermilion Flycatcher is in the same area. With any luck, maybe a Cassin’s Kingbird! The woods just to the south of the ball field and along the pipeline right-of-way are good areas for Brown-crested and Ash-throated Flycatcher.
Buras Boat Launch is next on the agenda. Over the back levee, the surrounding marsh is a good spot for Seaside and Nelson’s Sparrows, Marsh Wrens, rails and ducks.
The day will end at historic Fort Jackson. We will bird the oaks surrounding the fort, looking for wintering foraging flocks. Always a good chance of finding something rare here. The Mississippi River levee and batture can also yield some wintering warblers plus other goodies such as Myiarchus flycatchers, Barn, Great Horned and Eastern Screech Owls.
Prepare for some walking at each stop. There will be portalets with a washing station at Diamond and full bathrooms at the Fort Jackson visitor’s center.
