Ruby-throated Hummingbird


All the attention is on the baby bluebirds, but I finally spotted action at the hummingbird feeder.

Kip's Bluebird Babies Hatched!!!

This is so-o-o-o exciting. I only see four chicks here.
This is blurry, but maybe there are five!!!

My first picture of all five -- May 9!May 13, 3:35 feedmecam.com/birdhouse/May 14 http://feedmecam.com/birdhouseMay 19, 2007 3:30 pm EDT Kip's birdhouse
The calendar says this might be the day they fledge. They have been so active and they have certainly been testing their wings. I'll miss them, but wish them well.
I sure was wrong about the date. Two left the nest while I was having a cup of tea with a neighbor. May 23, 1:00 pm

House Finch


Hadn't seen a house finch at the feeder before today.
