Our neighbor had a nest (that they located) right beside their driveway once. I was able to spot it and later watch the fledglings climb the branches before they flew. Great experience!! :-)Shady Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05007816271406393818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265980198981273900.post-31917506263605544812010-09-02T12:19:51.459-05:002010-09-02T12:19:51.459-05:00Fab photos, one and all, Shady!

However, their bright yellow plumage changes to a dunn color. I'd imagine yours stay bright yellow?<br /><br />We also only have ruby-throated hummingbirds here. I'd imagine you might have other varieties?<br /><br />Thanks, Rosemary. :-) It is fun to see the changes... how about you??<br /><br />Hi Liz! I'll have to pop over to see what you've been up to. Nice to have you back. :-)<br /><br />Hello Gardener. I checked out your site and enjoyed your rainy video. We received one inch of rain last night. It had begun to dry out around here, so I didn't have to water, either! :-)<br /><br />Hi Rosey, I suspect they'll leave before very long. They're still zipping around pretty "furiously" right now, though! Entertaining for sure. :-)<br /><br />Patsi, I actually put out oranges and grape jelly for the Orioles, but they caught me unawares. Yes, they've been at these feeders before, so I don't really have to worry about them!<br /><br />Hi Joey! You ARE a cute little bird - so come visit. :-)<br /><br />Hi Jo, You really would enjoy hummingbirds. Have you ever "clicked" on that red cardinal picture? I couldn't take it (or the link) off the blog. ha.Shady Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05007816271406393818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265980198981273900.post-46643808895068077142010-09-01T02:43:33.872-05:002010-09-01T02:43:33.872-05:00Hiya Shady,
