On Thursday morning I watched a pair of Eastern wood peewees feed their
two young ones. The babies were preening and stretching and enjoying
the insects the parents were bringing.
The regular yard birds were feeding and I also had a yellow breasted
chat, a yellow-billed cuckoo, a yellow throated warbler and some orchard
orioles.
The Eastern bluebirds were busy feeding babies in the bird box.
Dozens of Ruby-throated hummers were fighting the honey bees for the
sugar water. We are having a real problem with the honey bees. One
feeder that I cleaned had at least a hundred dead bees inside. Does
anyone have a solution to this problem?
In the evening I enjoyed good looks at a yellow-throated vireo. It was
a great day for birding from my deck.
A couple of weeks ago I enjoyed a pair of cerulean warblers with a baby
feeding in the locust trees across the back of the yard. Surprisingly ,
I had ceruleans on the same date last summer.
