At least a half dozen fighting over our two feeders all weekend!

View attachment 142693 View attachment 142692 Lots of birds right now and a mantis has just shown up. It has grabbed at a couple so far but can’t hang on.

Better watch that mantis. If he gets the right hold, he'll kill one. So will those big yellow and black garden spiders.

Haven’t seen one all weekend. The little guys must have headed south

I’ve still got a stubborn little guy who seems to be guarding his feeder against nobody. Maybe he’s waiting for your bird to pass through.

Had 1 with a white tail setting on the feeder all morning.

Still have a few here. I'll put another cup or so if feed out, then bring it in next wek

 

[dlbleak]

I’ll leave mine out til oct 1 then bring them in.

I’ll leave mine out til oct 1 then bring them in.

Leave mine out till they’re gone. They need all the fuel they can get.

I saw one yesterday. No feeder where I was at but there were some red water bottles that it was checking out. It didn't stick around very long.

I stand corrected. Have a new female that won’t come down from the redbud while we’re on the deck. Our other birds got used to us and would land just feet away from us
