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!

Hi Seth,

Very nice documentation. I agree with the IDs.

Cheers,
Erik

Dear Erik:

Here is a link to my eBird checklist with photos from Tuesday, 3 December 2024: . 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

Subject: Hummingbirds at NOBG today - my first report for the 2024-2025 season at NOBG



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.



Here is a link to our eBird checklist with photos:



#1

* Mark Meunier and Seth Nehrbass

* 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

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 <,+%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.

To attend the field trip, you must be a current LOS member and register through Melissa Weaver via email at melissaweaverbird@... <mailto:melissaweaverspeech@...>. Trip registrations will be on a first-received email basis; Melissa will confirm your registration, so if you don’t receive a confirmation from her check the spelling of her email address. Registration for this trip begins 1 January, 8am.

Thanks!
Melissa Weaver

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.



Here is a link to our eBird checklist with photos:



#1

* Mark Meunier and Seth Nehrbass

* 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

A reminder that I'm splitting one of my areas into 2 smaller areas. If
anyone is interested in starting a new team in a great area and count,
please send me an email.

The area starts on the south end of Erath La and cones down to the community
of Henry, both in Vermilion Parish.

It is a great rural area with wetlands, ag fields and woods.

FYI I am splitting one of my areas, so I have an area covered in the past
that will need a new group. If anyone is interested in taking this area and
making it their own, just send me an email. It has been covered in the
past, I have 'hotspots'.

It is the area around the Vermilion Parish community of Henry, very rural.

Hey all,
In case you need it, here is a Google Earth file with all the CBC circle
boundaries.

LAbird and HUMNET,

What a fun hummingbird season so far! We're up to a remarkable 6 BROAD-BILLED HUMMINGBIRDS in the state so far. Also decent numbers of Black-chinned Hummingbirds, and it looks like Buff-bellied Hummingbird numbers are picking up over the last couple weeks.

Today is November 15 - which means if you have a Ruby-throated Hummingbird as of today, we count it as "wintering." (I track all other species regardless of date).

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!

I think my last message failed to state that the Advanced 1 birding course (in person version) will skip the Thu-Sat of Thanksgiving, so interested parties don't have to worry about the holiday conflict.

LAbirders,

We're really excited to share that our research team working on Black Rails in Louisiana has confirmed breeding evidence of Black Rails in southwestern Louisiana, specifically by documenting broods of flightless chicks using trail cameras. The lead author of the paper, Lauren Monopoli, is a Ph.D. student at the University of Illinois who put the pieces together to figure this out. The Eastern Black Rail (the population east of the Rockies) was listed as Threatened under the Endangered Species Act in November 2020, so there is extra sensitivity around sharing locations of birds.

The Abstract of the paper can be accessed at the link here. Happy to share a pdf of the paper for those who request off-list.


Our surveys for Black Rails and Yellow Rails are ongoing, thanks to new funding through the State Wildlife Grant program administered by the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries. If you are interested in joining a rail drag survey this winter, please contact Jonathon.Lueck AT Audubon DOT org.

Happy birding!

Orleans Audubon is offering both the in person (in New Orleans) and fully zoom versions of Advanced Birding II starting within the next week. The in-person version starts this Thursday, and the zoom version starts this coming Monday. Flier announcing both, with instructions for registration, is attached. The same can be found at the OAS website, jjaudubon.net..

I am instructor of both, feel free to email me with questions.

Cheers, and hope to see you soon!

Dear LABIRD,

The Orleans Audubon Society is hosting a Zoom screening of a Purple Martin
conservation documentary. All are welcome. Registration is required.
Details follow.

Jennifer Coulson
President
Orleans Audubon Society

*Purple Haze: A Conservation Film*

*ZOOM screening of Purple Haze, the Purple Martin documentary*

*Filmmaker: Zach Steinhauser*

Thursday, November 14
6:30 to 8:30 p.m.



The amazing Purple Martin has a unique and long-standing relationship with
humans which originated with Native Americans. The eastern population is
dependent upon humans to provide nesting sites in the form of Purple Martin
houses, condominiums and gourds. Join us for a feature-length film about
Purple Martins and migratory bird conservation. Part of this documentary
was filmed in Shreveport.



In the opening and closing comments we will discuss the legal battle that
two OAS members who live in Harahan, the Stamms, are having with a neighbor
who sees Purple Martins as nuisance animals and wants the Stamms to take
down their martin houses. The jurisdiction is the City of Harahan that has
proclaimed itself to be a “Bird Sanctuary City” since 1959, yet Harahan’s
leadership has hired a Special Magistrate to oversee the trial against the
Stamms and their Purple Martin residents.



Free, registration required. To receive registration information for this
online Zoom screening, send an email request to OrleansAudubon@... with
“Purple Haze” in the subject line.

Ahead of the next Louisiana Ornithological Society newsletter, the LOS Winter Meeting will be in Lafayette, January 24-26, 2025. Registration is available on the LOS website--. It is the old form PayPal registration, so you may have to place items in the cart, then backtrack to the dropdown menu to complete the transaction. Registration is $15, student registration is $5, and dinner is $25.

Lodging
LOS has reserved a block of rooms at the Homewood Suites by Hilton--Lafayette Airport, 201 Kaliste Saloom Road, in Lafayette, for $115.00/night, plus applicable state & local taxes. The room block will be held until Friday, January 3, 2025. Register by phone at 337-264-6044 and ask for the LOS rate. Even if you are a veteran of navigating the Hilton website, it is best to call the hotel directly. Sometimes you may do better through a loyalty program, AAA, AARP, or the like, but short of getting free rooms through the Hilton loyalty program, this really does appear to be a steal, so don't miss the deadline.

Events
All evening events during the Winter Meeting will be in the conference rooms at the Homewood Suites (no extra driving!).

Dinner
Dinner is $25.00/person and will only be available through pre-registration. Our Lafayette event committee has chosen Buffalo Catering to supply a dinner of catfish bites, chicken and sausage gumbo, potato salad, summer salads consisting of spring mix, strawberries, cherry tomatoes, mandarin oranges, feta cheese and purple onions, and a dessert of bread pudding, praline sauce and pecans. Drinks will be iced tea and water. If you desire a special diet meal, you are welcome to bring your own. You may also BYOB.

Deadline for dinner reservations is Friday, January 3. This is a catered affair, and unlike recent events where we have had gumbo or jambalaya and could adjust on the run, so to speak, you will not be able to buy dinner on site at the registration table, or the night of the dinner. Please heed the deadline.

A number of field trips are planned and information will be available shortly. Erik Johnson will speak Friday night on sparrows, and is rumored to be planning to band some on Saturday, and, following Jane Patterson's and Katherine Gividen's recent talk on birding abroad, Ken Eyster will speak Saturday night about his trip to Madagascar.

Thanks!
Mark Pethke
LOS Treasurer
