Amazing Raise 1: Raise the Migration!
Comments (1)Thanks, Tony, for what you're doing. Very helpful information. I hope we get the Milkweed forum opened soon so all the information will be gathered in one place. Mary...See Moreearly bird migration?
Comments (5)Hummingbirds are still around. I was reading on the back deck 2 days ago and a hummingbird hovered about a foot away from my face, watching me. When I said, "Hey", he flew about 3 feet away and continued to watch me before taking off. Hmmmmm...I never did put the feeder out this year, because I wanted to wait till the decks were treated, which didn't happen until August. I swear he was just trying to make me feel guilty....See MoreSaw this amazing bird land in my feeder .
Comments (5)Well, the head was a brown color and when I looked this up it says the 1st spring male is brown colored..so I guess I saw the young one...but it sure was breath taking..I'm hoping it will come back cause it was at the feeder twice...I never realized how neat it is to see all these beauties... I come back to Florida in Oct and stay till the end of June...and I can't wait to see what else will fly in ... Just awesome...What a beautiful gift of nature..and where I live as a "Snow Bird" is surrounded by huge oak trees.. If I see him again I have the camera ready and I'll post it.. Thank you so much ..God Bless BarbZeee...See MoreMigrating birds, past 3 weeks, LIFER
Comments (4)Thanks! When I took these photos, migration was in full swing and the leaves hadn't even started turning yet. Now most of the leaves are gone and the migrants are gone. Birdky members still report them, but mostly south and west of us, usually near large bodies of water. Of course, now the winter birds are returning..saw a large flock of Fox Sparrows on Narnia Ridge this morning...See Moredirtygardener73
