More birds starting to arrive.

Well they sure were slow in showing up this season but there are more showing up every couple of days. Ever since that year where I had a lot of birds around the feeders most all of the neighbors now have feeders so the birds are a little spread out now. But that sure doesn't slow down the action. They chase each other up and down the street from house to house. I would estimate there are probably close to 20 plus birds in the neighborhood at this time and will probably continue to grow as we close in on the migration. The migration is probably occurring in the northern US. The migration here where I live in mid Alabama usually kicks into full swing around the last week of August and lasts about 2 weeks into September.

Birds arriving

Well the birds are finally arriving and as usual a couple have staked their claim to the feeder and are defending it. Because of the extreme heat this year the birds are showing up mainly in the evening a couple of hours before sundown. It is fascinating to watch them, they look like small jet planes in a dog fight as they chase each other off the feeder.
