Did anyone watch the Nature special on hummingbirds? Just finished on WGBH2, should show again. Great footage and several new learnings.

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

We've had lots of Wrens and Titmice here.The Downies have been absent around the suet feeders.

Haven't seen my Sharpie(hawk) yet this year.

The stupid Blue Heron is STILL hanging around!

suet

maybe the presentation isnt right..........
for the smaller downies as i have both kinds
the bigger Harries cuz they have a brownish tuft of hair
between the beak and their head
it acts as a shock absorber when they rat ta tat tat
on a tree drilling it for bugs

i find they want a long profile to land ,survey, and approach
as they are very cautious with much bobbing and weaving to
make sure nothing has changed since their last visit.

the wife's been buying suet at Job lot about 7 cakes per week
so that their is several options available.
they seem to have a pretty good selection there
and the Nutties (i callem) nuthatches
and the smaller downies like the peanut suet...

nuthatches are quite fond of the smaller spanish peanuts
and like Cardinals favor safflower seed which looks
like a hulled sunflower seed except they are white.
