The hummingbirds are busy all day feeding. I assume they need to build up strength for the trip south. I put the new feeder up and then put the old feeder on a table in the yard. I have not seen any visitors to the feeder on the table. Perhaps they will not feed close to a flat surface. They may think it is at ground level.
I saw a herring gull on a trip to the next town. There do not seem many around the area this year. Often they follow farmers as they till.
THe regular feeder is busy with pine siskins most common and then house sparrows and goldfinches (photo). There are a few chickadees.
