Hummingbird short video
Not to hog the platform. https://www.allaboutbirds.org/news/hummingbirds-flight-beauty-costa-anna-california/. This is a really beautiful short video about hummingbirds from the Cornell Lab all about birds. The slow motion helps understand how these little beings fly differently than other birs. Hope you enjoy it. Happy Monday.

I’m a little late to reply, but funny hummingbird story. I’m in the US. Family member visiting from Australia spotted a hummingbird and said, “woah! You have birds that levitate!” Cracked me up, especially given how many unusual animals there are in Australia!

@Michele Averbuck I’ve been to both of those places many times, but not since I started birding, if you can believe it! What a great idea. I’m glad you had a good time.

Fantastic! It’s never occurred to me to take a birdwatching trip. Usually I just look wherever we happen to be. 🤔 This is a wonderful idea! And I learned about new birds as I had to look up the ones on your list. Nice. 👍

Ingenious feeder idea
No one seems to carry an attachment for my pole to hold my feeder. Finally I asked ChatGPT if there’s anything else I could use. The answer? A metal flag pole mount. It’s perfect. And only $10!! The feeder is sitting on the part that would mount to the wall. The screw holes didn’t align for me but zip ties solved that part. The picture also includes the raccoon baffle I MacGyver-ed out of a stove pipe because I can’t brag about it to just anyone 😂

@Brandi Steuer Thanks! I wish I’d thought of it - but recognizing a good idea is the next best thing I guess ☺️

Traveled the Blue Ridge Parkway this week and got audio recordings of several new (to me) birds. I managed to see a red-winged blackbird and a Baltimore oriole for the first time! It’s always a little thrill to get a new “lifer” even if it’s one I’ve heard around all the time. To see one and know for sure what it is, is fun. And having a place like this to share is fun, too!

I’m newly retired and decided to slide right in to the stereotype. I’m thrilled to have time to learn!
