In answer to the questions posed in an article about two back: I consistently read this newsgroup. I have never (before this) posted to it. We feed a number of bird species in our garden--this includes two hummingbird feeders. Also, we have planted certain flowers that a local expert has advised us attracts hummies. About 20 years ago, before the semi-conductor industry or whatever changed the local ecology, we used to see a lot of migrants at certain seasons and I would get very gung ho about identifying them. It no longer seems to happen, so I am not motivated to play bird-watcher; therefore am not likely to have anything to post. I hope the newsgroup is not discontinued. If it is, I guess net.rec would be the umbrella for bird articles. -- Herb Kanner Tymnet, Inc. ...!hplabs!oliveb!tymix!kanner
