At this time of year; we are blessed with quite a menagerie to watch from our kitchen and living room windows. I don't want to think about the time that they will be leaving for warmer weather. I can't keep the feeders filled for the birds. There are about 5 or 6 hummingbirds that stay here. Having 2 huge "Rose of Sharon" bushes in the yard and 4 hanging impatiens baskets, help us to keep them around. Jon and I sit in the yard every evening after our walk, and enjoy those hungry little things, fighting over the 2 feeders. Why is it that the males are so possessive? We also have a finch feeder in another tree that is heavily used. We love this feeder the most, I think, because it takes care of all the other birds that don't drink hummingbird nectar and eat thistle seeds. Of course, the raccoons and squirrels have access to it too.

I love it! We also have a bird feeder and often will watch them coming and going. I wonder what they are saying to each other... it seems to me they are having very lively conversation!
You need to send out an e-mail to everyone telling them about your blog! I know they would love to see what you are up to! Especially family far away, like Jenny in Japan! Have you been to her website? It's http://dumpfam.blogspot.com/
Love you!!
