Re: Birds in the back yard
Most years we have at least one till it gets cold out.  I wonder if they found natural things around here that they like?

Was still an oriole here on the jelly feeder this afternoon. Refill it one more time & the jar will be empty.  :happy1:

Didn't see one yesterday but this morning there was an oriole on the jelly feeder around sunrise. It didn't stay long but there was no doubt about what appeared to be a young male.

Re: Birds in the back yard
I should refill our hummingbird feeders again. There are still a lot of them zooming around the yard yet. Lots of flowers still in bloom even if I didn't but there's already sugar water mixed up for them. May as well use it. More room for tonic syrup & club soda in the fridge that way... :coffee:

Re: Birds in the back yard
Emptied, cleaned & refilled the hummingbird feeders last nite. They had pulled them down so there wasn't much to dump. Speaking of robins, they've been flocking to the birdbath on their way thru. Looks like lots of young ones with speckled breasts. The nannyberries are ripening and they're picking them as fast as they can. The bottom of the birdbath is covered with nannyberry pits when I go to refill it.

Re: Birds in the back yard
What I'm seening is hummers still going to my wife's flowers but have stopped coming to the feeder. Maybe they get better stuff for their long flight from flowers?

Re: Birds in the back yard
Gotta be climate change related... :bs:  :rolleyes:

Could be something to do with the flowers I suppose. Just gawked out the window here & they go to any of the 3 feeders, chase each other around, go to any of the numerous flowers, chase each other around some more, rinse & repeat. Thought about mixing the sugar water blend 3:1 but left it at 4:1 for now. Can use up what I have mixed then spike the next batch. Could put that in a couple feeders to see if they hit those harder.

Multi-colored Asian lady beetles are starting to build up on the side of the house. They're running out of soft bodied insects to eat so time to annoy the crap out of us for 6 or 7 months.

Yep, I'd imagine once harvest starts,  it's seems those nice warm days in October those Beatles are everywhere. Not sure what's going on, I refilled my bird feeders every other day for months. Once the last week, even with the nice temps you think they took off already?

We had only one hummingbird at our feeder yesterday. We'll probably leave ours out till close to freeze time just in case there are any late stragglers.
