Very busy at the bird feeder today! (22 Viewers)

The Downy and Red-Bellied Woodpeckers are still frequent visitors.

Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds have also been very regular visitors for the past couple weeks during their southward migration.

All three members of the mimid family now show up, too, though Mockingbirds are still rare visitors. Brown Thasher has some proper feathers again (he was looking very ragged for a while during molting). Multiple Catbirds, too.

The ever-curious Chickadees have grown in number again.

Love your webcam, Dwayne! You're getting some great birds. Our yards are quiet at present except for numerous (warring) Ruby-throated Hummingbirds.

Thank you! I've been very fortunate in feeder traffic, a wide variety of species, and very few "undesireables" like Grackles. I've been really excited about the Hummingbirds, I had the feeders out in the spring but didn't get any visitors.

Loads house sparrows lately as much as 18-20. And big numbers of starlings, good chaffinch and goldie's, getting few Doves and wood pegions..and regular blue tit's.

Looking forward to seeing the winter blackbird's this upcoming winter, and the robins !

45 goldfinches, garden record which I doubt will last for long at this rate

I had more than a few in yesterday, they are certainly moving through here. Very intresting to note 2 very young birds in the pack - cant have fledged long ago as they were still begging for food

Big movements of birds at the moment going through the country, I had 8 Blackbirds the other evening that stopped by to feed\ roost, not seen them since. Goldfinches are doing the same - hence your 45

Superb list - look forward to hearing about how it develops:t:

Just back from a few days away and topped all the feeders up. Strangely, the nijer was hardly touched while I was away. :h?: SO far, just Magpies, feral pigeons and a Collared Dove. How long til the Siskins start at the sunflower seeds...
