We've been able to enjoy lots of backyard birding thanks to our generous feeding program.
In addition to keeping the birdseed fresh in the feeders, the plants and trees are also doing their part to attract visitors.

I was so excited to see the hummingbird darting in and out of the Solomon's Seal. From the distance, I couldn't confirm whether it was ruby-throated. A recent house guest said they saw one approach the back sliding door, so hummers are definitely in the area!
We also have the House sparrows nesting in the birdhouse again this year. I wonder if it is the same nesting pair or one of last year's brood?
note: not my photos.
