New blog post on nocturnal migration
Greetings, Eons birders! Though with the recent format change my "expert" blog is no longer featured on our Birding Group home page, I'm still bloggin' for you.
The purpose of my blog is to inform and educate Eons birders about birdwatching and the birds themselves. I invite you to read my blog entries as I write them, and to check through the "archives" for topics of interest.
Here's a link to my latest blog entry:

Peace & good birding,

Hummers gone missing?
I haven't seen our hummingbirds since the hurricane Ike winds in NJ last week. I hope they're safely travelling south. Has anyone from up here seen any lately? I wish they'd stay another week. I was just starting to feed them with my little hand-sized feeder!
HUMMING BIRDS
I too haven't seen any humming birds since Ike hit this area. Believe it or not I live in Ohio and we got up to 80 mile an hour winds from Ike. We are not used to that in this area. But we were lucky and only lost power for a few hours. Some people just got theirs back on last week. So we were very lucky.

Hummingbird rides ikes winds
Hello all!
I am back and we are safe and sound! We road out ike in our rv with winds as high as 90mph!. But my hero is my precious little Prince Albert. This little hummy rode winds and rain of 65pmh. Not once, but three times he hit that feeder! To let you know, it was an accident, that the feeder was left out there. Its a long story. You can read about it on my blog.
This weekend he migrated on, but he will be back next year!

ENJOY WATCHING BIRDS
I see so many interesting birds around my home in Ohio. That is one reason why we love living here. We have a couple of hawks that hang around and they are so interesting to watch. Just thought I would check this out every now and then.

Red_Breasted Nuthatch
A new visitor to my feeders this year, this is a photo of one of the 2 Red-Breasted Nuthatches. This isnt the best photo I would have liked but they are quick little buggers. I have only had the opperatunity to see one of these birds once before and it was many years ago. I have had their cousins, the White-Breasted Nuthatches frequent my feeders for years. I am enjoying my two Reds while they are here and I hope they stay.
