Backyard Bird Watchers

I think most of the hummers have passed thru the middle of Middle TN on their journey south... since around Labor Day I calculated that I made 400 ounces of nectar which would have fed at least 800 hummers... over about 30 days that is 25-30 a day.

Hummingbirds are still visiting my property, only now, my wife’s pineapple sage bush is the prime territory being defended. It’s in full bloom with hundreds of flowers. The feeder is the consolation prize.

Have had a few good days of backyard birdwatching. Love the dark eyed juncos are back. Had some field sparrows in the yard (first time since I've been at this house) multiple hawks

Found my first owl pellet under a maple tree I'm letting decay into a snag. Looked like it had dispatched a starling or something like that.

I was pretty happy because I've been explaining what I'm doing with a couple of the trees that I'm letting decay where they stand for the last couple years to some neighbors. They aren't near anything they can fall on, and the 'critters' get a lot of use out of them. Owls seem to love them, the woodpeckers wear some of the branches out when they get good and soft, various mammals at different times, and on and on....

Got my wife one of those bird feeders with a camera in it that she can connect to her phone. Will see if it works. We have a lot of cardinals and Bluejays along with the standard mid tn birds.

Got one for Christmas. Don't know what happened, but the camera worked for a couple of days then nothing.

Hmmm. We haven’t had issues. Wife really enjoys it except for the recent squirrel visitors. Shares pics with here pre k kids.
There are a bunch of different ones though. Should have a 30 day guarantee?
