World Bird Wed.

Is it time already for world bird Wed.? Go to this link & see all the beautiful birds from all around the world,hosted by the Springman!http://thepineriverreview.blogspot.com/

This is a depressing time of year for me,watching the song birds fill up for their migrations.We have had alot fueling up going on the past few days.The adults leave first usually,I never understood why unless the little ones have to earn more flight feathers.There are still 2 remaining hummingbirds & the younger brown thrashers.I look for them to be gone this week.Of course,some birds will remain like the white breasted nuthatcher hanging upside down waiting for his turn at the suet cakes.Usually the evenning red breasted grosbeak stops in on their way through here,but I haven`t seen them yet.This poor female cardinal is growing in more feathers but looks rather rough right now.Have a wonderful week!

Hummingbirds gone,grosbeaks migrated through,& baby cardinals

I forgot to post on the grosbeaks,I did on my facebook page,but just want it journaled here that they did migrate through here,stopping at the feeder on Sept.11.If I wasn`t home here to see them,I wouldn`t have known as it was a quick one day stop as near as I can tell.
I filled up the hummingbird feeders,but I believe that they are offically gone,as of Sat.I will let the feeders up for awhile for any stragglers going by.
The baby cardinals have been fun to watch,they are finally feeding themselves.They don`t have much color yet.
