August Celebration
What was it this morning that brought so many birds to the nut holders just outside my kitchen window. I could see baby birds, teenage birds, mother and father birds, all squabbling away with each other to get their turn at picking the nuts. I wonder was it because it rained heavily all 
night and they were wet and hungry, or were they all gathering for an 
August 1st celebration. I was particularly delighted to see several Green finches and Sparrows. They were once the most common bird in the garden, now I almost get excited if I see one or two. As soon as I went out to take some photo's, there was a vanishing act.

Green finches, how wonderful!! I need to get a finch feeder, they crack me up the way they eat upside down.
ReplyDeleteI love birds. I was at Mama's yesterday, and the birds were everywhere....until I went outside to capture them with my lens. You are exactly right....vanishing act. I was content to sit in the 'bird room' (glassed room Daddy built for Mama) to watch them return. I notice that right after a rain, they come quickly...and plentifully.

Here's my theory of why there's so many birds squabbling at the feeders this time of year...after having 2 or more sets of babies fledge, I think they all have a family reunion at the feeders :)...I was out walking this morning and there were all types of young birds fluttering and chirpping away.
ReplyDeleteI just love all birds !!!!! After rain you often see many of them and the air is so fresh then ! :)
ReplyDeleteHello Ann
ReplyDeleteI see you are very fond of birds too...
Most of our birds are nectar feeders or insect feeders so having a bird feeder won't work for me unfortunately. I have put out a large tray of water and hope some come to drink or bathe...
Happy days
