Birds in the back yard

[Dotch]

Saw no hummingbirds this morning when I was refilling the ant moats on their feeders. Think I'll empty the stuff that's in them & replace it with what's in the fridge in case there are some that happen by. Supposed to stay warm until Tuesday. There are still lots of flowers they like yet too. Robins continue to bathe in the birdbath daily so it needs to be emptied & refilled each morning. They can really make the water fly when they get in there.

Ya, they were probably wondering what I was putting in that priority mail container...

At least you still have the hummingbirds...

I cleaned & refilled their 3 feeders last nite. I used up the last of the 4:1 sugar water mix & filled one of the feeders with a  3:1 blend. Watered all the planters, 4 o'clocks & cannas too. No excuses for going hungry should they happen by. Appears to be lots of warblers in their fall attire here today. No time to sit and watch them but given their shape & size, that's probably who they are. Did see a brown creeper earlier. Lord knows there are bugs of all kinds to eat here.

sure dont have many birds around!!!!!! but i got an effin red squirrel on the feeder out front.  cant shoot the little fudder mucker!!!! livin in town and a few neighbors i wouldnt trust any further then i can throw them!!!

i've had a live trap set under the feeder for 4 days....never see it on the ground!!!!!!!! so, sincei dont have many birds at the moment.....taking the feeder down.......mayhaps he'll move on!!!!!!

I looked out the window this a.m. to see the oriole/hummer feeder had been knocked down sometime between yesterday a.m. & this morning. Sure enough, the ground is so hard, the glass was smashed to pieces. I didn't happen to look at it last nite when I got home around dusk. It either fell victim to one of the a-hole squirrels yesterday or a raccoon overnite. There was a huge raccoon schmucked in the road just down the hill from the house this morning so wonder if that wasn't the culprit. Took the other 2 hummer feeders down. Will replace them with suet feeders soon. Plenty of flowers yet should any stray hummingbirds happen by.
