Calling all bird watchers!



The hummingbirds are in full swing at the farm and it is so much fun observing them. These tiny little beauties are so territorial that they spend 95% of their time guarding their food source. They remind me of little soldiers, dive bombing all other hummers that sneak a drink creating a spectacular show.
The baltimore oriole's have also arrived, they start to show up when the apple tree blossoms begin to open. I've also noticed that they love the maple tree leaves as they transform from bud to leaf. I have tried putting oriole feeders out for but they don't use them, they do however love the hummingbird feeders.
