The message below follows up on the posting about shifting bloom phenology

This does not surprise me.  I've been growing native Aquilegia canadensis 
in my garden since 1997.  Hummingbirds seem to "miss" the peak flowering 
of this red columbine at least five years our of six.  Dr Trager probably 
has similar records.  If you check the literature online you may find a 
paper in which red columbine and the ruby throat phonologies seem to have 
"decoupled" in places in North or South Carolina.  Seed set is now 
accomplished either by bees or via self-pollination (almost all columbines 
studied to date are highly self compatible).

Hummingbirds completely missed the red-flowered Aesculus pavia in the SE
USA this year.

Climate Change Causing Hummingbird Missed Connections
By LiveScience Staff | LiveScience.com -- Sat, Jun 2, 2012

Missed connection: Me, a broad-tailed, red-throated hummingbird. You, a 
delicate yellow flower full of nectar. I flew all the way from Central 
America to find you, but you'd withered away. Why did you bloom so
early?
