Female Rufous Hummingbirds currently outnumber the males at my feeders by approximately 12:1. With cooler temperatures and light rain, each feeder may have as many as six birds simultaneously at the ports or waiting for one to be vacated. You're in danger of getting your ears pierced or your eyes poked out when you walk out there!
365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.
