World Bird Wed.

Today is the day to show everyone in the world the birds you have seen this week.The link is over at the Springman`s..http://pineriverreview.blogspot.com/
This week the baby catbirds came to the feeder bothering mom,she wasn`t feeding them fast enough.They look so much alike their adult parents that it`s hard to tell them apart.They will not migrate till all the pokeberries are gone.I can`t find a picture of the pokeberries,I`ll have to enter it later.The birds have planted them everywhere,& I let them grow because I thought they would be useful to use as a dye for my fiber.I was told it won`t be colorfast unless I do something with buttermilk with the berries.What???!!!
The carolina wren has been singing & munching on the magnolia tree`s seed cones.
The whitebreasted nuthatch is making regular trips to the newly filled feeder.
And lastly,the baby hummingbirds are still here,though the others left with the hurricane winds-which,thankfully,we lost no trees from,the little male looks like he`s waving goodbye. I`ve had them coming to their feeder as late as the end of Oct.,so I made fresh sugar water for them today.
