Indigo Bunting

We've had a male Indigo Bunting frequenting the yard in the last week or so. We usually only see them in the yard in May, so this has been a nice treat. We do see them in Glenorchy Conservation area throughout the summer.

It seems that the Rose-breasted Grosbeaks have moved on for the season. At our last bird count, we did not see any at all. A few days later we saw a single male and female and that's been it in the last week or so.

The feeders have been busy with Baltimore Orioles - we had five first year and/or females at once! That's definitely a record for this year. We haven't seen the adult male in awhile. They will be moving along soon too.

The hummingbird feeders have been quite busy as well these last few days. It won't be much longer that we are seeing those birds as well. Things will probably be quiet in the next few weeks and then we'll see our fall/winter birds return.
