Thanks, brer cat.

Wishing them safe travels and a speedy return! May the wind always be at their tails!

I'll miss them. My cats will miss them.

Maybe you could find a You Tube of hummers for the kit kids? I've seen plenty of video clips of cats watching things on screens & reacting. lol

They go from window to window to watch the birds. The little idiots even smash into the windows trying to get the birds. The birds will sometimes hover to watch the cats back.

Poor kitties being taunted by birds.

Well, the birds are keeping them young, right? LOL

Do you have birds who stay for the winter?

There are virtually ZERO birds here. Every now and then I see a group of 9 or 10 sitting on phone wires together, but that's it.

various Finches, Pine siskins, 4 types of woodpeckers, more.

Birds of prey - owls, hawks, eagles

Lots of birds.

Rural area.

What state are you in if I may ask?

Sounds lovely!

Louisiana.

TN here (sadly).

Thx for sharing!

jabs but refused to be run off.

Thanks, CaliforniaPeggy!

I meant to ask if they even noticed the bufferfly. Determined!

the birds.

I've never seen such a battle in Nature.

Poor things!

Thx for sharing!

Poor things must be really hungry. Do others in your area not put up Hummer feeders?

I saw another post saying how sad it was to see bees fighting for pollen. Very sad indeed. They might do this every year, not sure.

scarce. I allow some flowers to go to seed so the birds can eat the seeds. We have wild berries that can make it through winter, so birds have those too.

Other people put feeders out.

I'll keep mine out for a few more weeks for the just in case.

I signed up for the TN Pollinators program and just received my packets of Milkweed to be planted this fall. Trying to decide where to put them. I requested 2 packets of each of the 2 types. This is for the Monarch Butterfly project, but I'm sure other pollinators will benefit too, the "Red" and "Common."
