Re: The thread for birds and birding
I saw something similar a year or two ago. I was waiting in a left turn lane at a red light when I saw a small bird come out of nowhere weaving around the cars. Not far behind was a sharp-shinned hawk. Amazing site.
I'm still trying at attract my 30th species of bird to me feeders. I had a house wren show up and land on one shepards hook but never went to a feeder so I dont count it. Put out some orange halfs and and a mesh ball with sunflower that I mixed some dried mealworms into. Havent seen anything new yet. Seems like everytime I go out to fill my feeders I have a hummingbird show up. He has no fear as I am standing litterally 2 feet from the feeder when he comes in, lands, and drinks. Also, yesterday, I sat and watched a downy woodpecker sit at the hummingbird feeder and drink sugar water for like 2 minutes. I can't say I have ever seen that before.
