Here's another angle. Maybe Rocco can verify... i'd say adult female summer tanager wish we saw more of them up this way. 13 hours ago, robtf said: semipalmated sandpiper I assume?

robtf Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) Witnessed odd behavior last evening and this morning. A hummingbird at our feeder seemed to be having trouble or drank in a very odd way this morning. Anyone else see this before? This hummingbird would drink and then point it’s head up as shown and flick it’s tongue and flex it’s neck. Happened both last evening and again early this morning...

Good question but no, I had just changed it the day prior. Also this little one came back twice. Plus we have left fermented bad nectar out before and they are smart enough to just leave it alone. When we first saw it doing this it looked like it was gargling... or trying to clear its throat... But then it was there doing the same behavior in the morning when I took this video Edited May 23, 2020 by robtf From The Grand State of South Jersey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
