When we were in Arkansas, one thing I loved about being there was the birds! Patty has 2 big hummingbird feeders and a couple of finch feeders. There were bright Yellow Finches, Blue Buntings, Cardinals, and lots of other lovely birds. The hummingbirds were in GREAT abundance as well!! There were Ruby throated, Anna's Hummingbird, Black Throated. They were all amazing, flitting around the house, even if we were sitting outside. Their little chipping sounds were all over the place. I could have been completely happy all day just sitting by the window watching them. The males would dive at each other like a war of the territories! It was so fun to watch! :) I'm a secret birdwatcher.. well I guess not so secret anymore but I have always loved it! I used tp sit with our cats in our apartment watching the birds on our balcany in NC. One of my projects this spring/summer has been my bird feeders. I started with 2 out in the back by the arbor, but I can't really get a good close look from that far away. I got hummingbird feeders out on the deck and on my kitchen window. When we got back from Ar, I had to up my game ;) I got some finch feeders and thistle 'bag feeders' and a super fun pretty hummingbird feeder. I have 3 male finches that frequent the thistle bag on my deck and a plethera of hummingbirds. I think I have 6 males and their females. :) I love being in the kitchen to watch them! And I am going to put up a squirrel feeder so they'll stay off my bird feeders :oP That way, I can get some other songbirds out there. I do have a bright red Cardinal (I call him the King) That hops around my deck occasionally :) Here are a few pictures of my feathered friends:
