Humming birds fuelling up!



The humming birds managed to empty one feeder within two or three days. I refilled it this morning as it was completely empty. The hummingbirds are busy from dawn to dusk. Many of them must be immature. There are few adult males. I imagine the hummingbirds will start migrating in September if not sooner. However there are still quite a few flowers as yet.

I saw a nuthatch (photo) visiting regularly. There are virtually flocks of sparrows and pine siskins. They along with goldfinches and purple finches seem to tolerate each other.

There were several northern flickers in the yard, pecking for grubs and worms in the grass even though they are woodpeckers.
