Tom Galli Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Does COVID have you feeling cooped up? Try attracting humming birds to a window where you can observe them closely. They even sell small feeders with suction cups that you can stick to your window glass. One part sugar to four parts water and you are in business. Here is a Black Chinned Hummingbird lining up for a sugary treat on a rainy Texas afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BridgetO Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Great photo! I'd like to see a pic of your cardinals. Bridget O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Galli Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share Posted July 29, 2020 Bridget, These were newly fledged about a month ago. The male is in the upper photo and female in the lower. There should be a third hatch anyway now. When fed, cardinals can fledge 4 times in a Texas season. The good thing is the parents rid the place of insects trying to keep the young fed.

BridgetO Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Thanks for the pics. What cute little birds! Their beaks look too big for their bodies. I love the mohawk on the male. Bridget O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
