Burn, I feel you pain - taking donations indeed! I'm now obsessed with feeders. I don't understand why the local stores don't sell feeders that are worth a darn. Now, that I've started looking online, I want a woodpecker feeder and/or a clinging feeder, and next fall, I have to have an oriole feeder, and that's just the beginning!

I think you're right Nanny. If you feed them, they will come provided that they hang in your area. The same does not seem to be true for nest boxes though. The darn wrens built their nest behind the bromiliad again even though I put a perfect nest box for them right above it.

Luvs, LOVED the bathing redtail. What fabulous shots. I've only seen a hawk bathing once and the water vegetation was too high to get any kind of picture. I wasn't even sure that's what he was doing. Those shots are amazing.

Let me see if I have a pic to share. This one is a few days old, a Summer Tanager. I didn't share it b/c lighting is off. The pic where the focus and lighting are perfect, a stick was covering her eye. Isn't that just always the case? No, it's just me?
