Birds in the back yard

[LPS]

We had a lot of them this last weekend too.  Some blue ones and some purple ones.  Mosquito hawks.

anyone else?????? i dont recall seeing any robins lately. i usually have them cleaning out the mealworms in the feeder, but not lately!

[mike89]

yer right not seeing them much...

They’re still around here, but not as plentiful as a while back. I’ve been spreading grass seed over some pretty big areas and keeping it watered, so they are finding some easy pickins for mealtime.

Had a robin in the birdbath this a.m. but otherwise haven't heard or seen much out of them. There was still an oriole here this a.m. holed up in the Norway maple. Leaves are so thick you couldn't see him but could hear him. The jelly hasn't been disappearing as fast as it was a few days ago.

Did see an oriole late yesterday afternoon & still heard one chattering last nite. Filled the jelly feeder one more time as it was getting down there again. Haven't seen or heard any today. Some robins around the yard. Guessing they're part of what's pecking holes in the apples.

come to think about it, I haven't seen my pet spiders in my garage either???

[Dotch]

I could mail you some large barn spiders... Haven't seen any of the golden garden spiders when out & about. Wet weather has affected a lot of spiders & insects negatively, including some crop inect pests such as rootworms as well as backyard pests like boxelder bugs.

We haven't seen a lot of robins this year.

We have a pair that nests here every Spring, but I haven't seen any lately. They usually have a nest on the light fixture at the peak of the east side of the garage.

Our annual nest in the boxelder didn't happen this year.

I did hear a robin the other day. Did see one also. But that's been it. Feeders are busy

[Dotch]

Looked like we had about the usual robin numbers here this spring & summer but once the second brood fledged, they didn't hang around long after that.

One lone oriole yet this morning. Looked like an immature female possibly. 🤔

The male Goldfinches have lost most of there color, looks like a pile of females nowadays.
