Female ruby throat humming bird at nectar and at flowers today, on Carters Creek Irvington. Lots of birds esp cardinals around the creek and pool but not at feeders even with the fresh seed. A few Mourning doves on ground but I suspect that they have sent the family packing as we had dozens of them in summer. I wonder if many birds died in storm Irene as we have seen so few over the past month. I don't often report but enjoy reports from near and far. Will do better!!

In spite of several feeders with fresh bird seed, I have not seen white throat sparrows, juncos or hummingbirds. Felicity, Gloucester.
