Video: We are well into September

but I am still putting out Hummingbird nectar. Activity has slowed down a lot recently, and there are days with no Hummers. However, when I was in the middle of refilling yesterday, this guy showed up. It's short but I loved how he seemed angry that the feeder was empty 😄 Well, it will stay put for the time being.

I hope everyone has a nice Saturday ❤️

Birdsy 4th of July offer - extended

I hear that the special offer will be extended until tomorrow due to popular demand. Check it out at birdsy.com :)

As many of you know, I have been using the Birdsy camera for my livestream and videos for a while now. I love it because it captures many things I would not be able to capture with my other cameras, and it has given me lots of insights into the secret things happening in my yard. I would not want to be without it anymore, ha! Many people have asked me about it, so I thought I would give you a little heads up - they are having a special sale on the 4th of July on their website birdsy.com. This is only for the US but a good chance to get a camera right now. Sales for other areas will start later. I have a little more info about the camera in my FAQ too.

Videos: The tree setup

The camera I set up in a tree is proving to be an entertaining setup, especially in the morning. Here, a Blue Jay comes to hide one single seed and then a bit later comes back to retrieve it. The female Oriole came to check out the nesting material options. I put nesting wool (I got mine from Wild Birds Unlimited), grass and roots in there. Don't use dryer lint, hair from pets with treated fur, or yarns. Audubon has a nice article about what is safe for the birds to put out.

A double puff

is better than a single puff. Grackles have a very impressive way of showing their beauty and dominance during mating season.
