Backyard Regulars

[nuke_diver]

They start arriving in small numbers mid April. Their numbers peak in July and August. Most have gone by late August.

We’ve been feeding them for over 20 years. The numbers increased over time. I’ve gone through about 40 lbs of sugar so far this season.

We used to feed them here but for the most part you only feed a dominant one and the ones that snuck in when he/she was chasing off another. For little birds they sure are big fighters
