More swallows swarming.

Apparently there is some problem with the image upload system so I will just send my last post for August in text!

There are still no hummingbirds yet today so I guess they have all left. I will leave my feeders out for another week or so just to make sure that some migrating hummingbirds have a snack.

There were swallows circling above the yard today. I think they are all or mostly tree swallows. Barn swallows are not that common any more around here.

While relaxing in the yard, I saw a northern flicker. Later I saw a crow who just finished off a couple of chicken bones we left out and also two starlings who were by the bird feeder. The feeder is being overrun by hungry mobs of sparrows and pine siskins. I saw one redbreasted nuthatch today. Chickadees are regular visitors.
