I've noticed in the past several weeks that the Moorhens are becoming 
very shy. I used to be able to walk right within 20 feet of them. They 
would be very aware of me but simply move about at the edge of the 
lilys. Now as soon as they spot me from 100 feet away they quickly 
disappear deep into the lilys. So I have to check them out from a good 
distance.

My hummingbirds stopped using the feeder last week. But I did see one 
today checking out my red climbing roses! First time I seen that all 
summer.

Also had a Rose-breasted Grosbeak in my backyard today.
