I don't like to post a ton of very similar photos, but *does it anyway* here are a few of Victoria with our little visitors yesterday. 4 or 5 of them were fighting over the 2 feeders. Come on, ladies, don't fight... I guess with a hurricane coming everyone was on edge. So while waiting for the world to end (or at least my garden and more trees) I had a little time just sitting and watching them all. "The moments of magic are just too short...."
These aren't the magic-light closeups I envisioned, but, I was happy to get a chance to try it anyway. Maybe next season there will be another chance. These are migrants and I was surprised to see them, as the nesters had left. I imagine these will be on their way as soon as they can after the storm. At least one was still flying today, and sat on the feeder bracket for a while.
None of the pix with 2 birds was very good and the light was starting to go, so these are a bit more like outtakes.
