That is terrible about the habitat loss. It is happening everywhere and we see it just outside our windows. We are trying to do what we can on our little place, but it's so overwhelming!

Thank you on the congratulations about the hummies. We sure are enjoying them. Yesterday they were testing out the Orioles' jelly. The Orioles prefer the oranges. We have double the Orioles this year, so need to keep those oranges stocked up!

OK, this picture does not show a bird, but it's bird related. We had our first bird death in about 3 years from a window crash a couple weeks ago. A Tennessee Warbler of all things. The bird's been passed on to a local school to use for study, but boy! We hated that it happened because of our windows. So we bought this American Bird Conservancy bird tape and put it on the most prone windows. I feel like a caged bird, but we'll get used to it. The coverage is a lot more than we had before. I was watching out a window as a truck roared by and an Oriole was coming right at the window, when he put on the brakes and flew in another direction.
