Still quite a few hummingbirds: Martins may be gone.

I haven't seen any purple martins since I saw big flocks forming the other day. I guess they are already on their way south.

Yesterday we went out to a farm and had a big pig roast (lechon). At the farm I saw many barn swallows sitting on telephone wires in the yard. When we got back home the regular bird feeder was empty with all the seeds ejected onto the sidewalk and ground! I filled it back up again. I noticed just a while ago that mostly house sparrows were at the feeder. They are the worst for spilling seed on the ground. Usually there is a mixture of birds with pine siskins predominant.

There are still quite a few humming birds visiting the feeder, enough tbat often a bird will be chased off by a competitor.
