Birds

If you like watching birds or have any comments about a cool bird in your yard or something, this would be a good place to discuss anything to do with birds.

On VIEUX DESSERT after supper yesterday and saw 3 waves of honkers going north also. ​I don't remember ever ​seeing that so late.

It was like a war zone out there this evening with the female Hummers fighting each other. I even had one smack me in the head lol.     I had 81 come to the feeders in about an hour tonight, all females.   They sound like bees when they fly within a foot of you.   I wonder what the males do.

On Saturday morning I also had a flock of about 50 Canada geese fly over me in northern WI.  They were heading NNW.

I saw a flock of 50 geese Saturday flying north in Northern WI and thought the exact same thing!

Odd question-anyone else seeing flocks of geese in a v flying north still.  Seen that two or three times the past week.  Figured every adult goose should be on nests or with young at this time of year.  Found that odd.

There was absolutely no way to pull out my phone, but had a hummer drinking through a red straw from a cup in my hand twice this past weekend. Beautiful, green body and red chest. It's happened on a table before, never while standing with a cup. Good stuff

Carp,  I've had a couple hummingbirds sneak into the house accidentally. ​For the most part there pretty chill. ​They usually let ​me lightly ​grasp them and release back outside. 
Such an incredible little bird. 

I one got humming birds so used to me they would land on my finger to feed at the feeder if I didn't move.  Really cool to do.

That's not an Oriole

Has anyone ever had a hummingbird allow you to touch them?  Tonight I got to about 8 inches while it was in the feeder and couldn’t get any closer without getting out of my chair.  Really trusting birds.

Robin taking a bath an oriole looking for bugs, I've had this little pond here for quite a while it's a lot of work but boy I'll tell you what, it sure brings out a lot of Wildlife.

Pool.   Females are wise.

Saw several night Hawks tonight. Rately see them in the spring.  Cool bird.
