I always enjoy watching the southern hawk migration.
Should be starting soon.

So when do people start feeding the birds again? I still have summer buds hangin around, I normally have hummers until around Columbus day

anybody put up winter boxes for 'warmth sheltering' any success?

you'd have to heat those with a lizard mat
for the birds to wanna use them

I haven't seen a hummer in 7 or more days. I think it's starting....

We don't even put out hummer feeders. Our Flowering Cherry tree and all the other flowers about the yard have been attracting them like crazy over the past few weeks.We get one for some strange reason likes to hover at our front picture window.

We'll be putting out our Fall feeders this weekend.Hopefully my Sharp-Shinned Hawk comes back this year.

I put my fall feeders out this week

Still bummed about no hummers, just doesn't seem the time
