I did notice an absence of our usual song birds in the last few weeks, as you noted Liz, I did see a big Cooper's hawk twice in my backyard. However, today I saw a bunch of sparrows and finches in my bird bath. I'm so glad they are back! I also over our saw some blue birds too. I also saw a great blue heron flying over our neighborhood pond. Thank you Liz for explaining the absence of our smaller song birds.

I'm sick of these Dem political ads on every kind of video that I enjoy as a conservative! It leaves a nasty taste in my mouth. Stop it, KZbin! We will NOT forget the last four years just because you show an ad lying about what your party will do for America. We've SEEN what you do!

Seen a Wooly crossing the country road by my house and it was all brown. I'd hate to know how much snow that means this winter.

Wow the butterflies are missing out! You did a fantastic job growing all of there favorite plants! I’m impressed. I have a small milkweed growing slowly I might add, and dill seedlings. Any tips for growing dill? They are so skinny and flop over .

Rochester is a little far (!) from Pickering Ontario for dropping in, but thank you very much for some interesting tips! It’s late August 2024 now, and the wasps are harassing the heck out of all our orioles as they try to fatten up for the trip south. We use jelly in glass bowls, so it’s a challenge. Cheers

My bluebirds had managed to have four eggs in their house. In the middle of a night a culprit came I don't know if it's a raccoon or a squirrel but it took every one of the eggs and Mom and Dad took off and haven't been back. Any suggestions on how I can get them back and have more eggs. My location is just outside 275 East and 71 South in the Cincinnati Ohio area.

Hey Liz, need your help. I have a bluebird house with 5 baby house wrens who are apparently very hungry. No parent seen or heard today. It’s now 8:00 pm. My wife said she found a deceased bird farther back in the yard today. Should I feed them some mealworms or call someone? I am in Syracuse. Thanks

I just want to say this was wonderful ❤ I’ve been feeding the birds for the past two years and I watch them gather around the feeders every morning.and it’s so rewarding. I’ve been wanting to do more and this has not only given me great ideas, it has inspired me. Thank you for sharing 😊

I live in Illinois and was wondering if the emergence of the two broods of cicadas at the same (hasn't happened since 1803) will have any effect on the bird population? Will that increase the broods birds will have? Will they have more babies in each brood? Thanks

Hi Janet, I've used a product called Seed & Hull Digester, it's enzymatic and cleans up seed hulls and bacteria. Happy Birding!

@@bélalugrisi I am currently using a no waste seed, and I’ve tried rock and mulch but it creates a huge clumpy mess. Right now I’ve put down landscape weed barrier and will plan on using the shop vac when it seems all the ‘seeds’ have been devoured. I would leave it as dirt only but I have a small dog that likes to walk thru there and I don’t want mud on her feet.

I spend a lot of time in Rochester and my biggest regret is having to leave in March, just before Spring migration when I could see some of these beautiful warblers. I've seen many of them, but not in their full breeding plumage because I lived in Central Florida when they pass through in the Fall, and I still need blackpoll, cerulean, golden winged, mourning and Canada warblera for my life list.

I was watering the lawn late Sunday afternoon and had a little visitor. While some little winged insects took flight, I noticed a blue bird 8 feet away. I watered near it, it hopped near the water looked at me pulled a insect or worm up and flew away.

Thanks for your site. I never had birds in my house previously the house is about 3 years old. And I don't know but I'm guessing these are chickadees and I'm just so curious he comes and goes comes and goes every 5 minutes continuously never stops for days. Sometimes he goes in and then a minute later he comes out and flies away again. I can't figure out how to attach a picture

There is nothing like a native plant to attract not only the butterflies but the beautiful birds too. ❤ This year I have seen so many new birds in my yard and at my feeder it’s amazing. I have been able to get a lot of them on video which I am totally enjoying! ❤

I live in Downtown Columbus (Ohio) and have been at war with a huge flock of house sparrows. It's like they travel in gangs to terrorize other birds! I had all these wonderful birds at my feeder until the house sparrows took over. So I switched to a mix with no millet - they were back mobbing the feeder within hours. Then switched to all safflower seeds - I woke up the next morning to the feeder (and my fence) covered with house sparrows - they were feeding safflower to their babies too! I finally switched to all Nyjer seed two days ago. I have since seen ZERO sparrows, but not many other birds either. But maybe it'll take them awhile to return. I know I'll get limited types of birds with Nyjer so once we get closer to fall, I'll maybe try other types of food but with those wires hanging around feeder. I also have hummingbird feeders which the sparrows leave alone, and I am going to put up a peanut (in the shell) feeder to see what happens there. (I've noticed the squirrels here don't like Nyjer either, so that's good!)

@tinabrasil624 3 ай бұрын

UPDATE!!!! It has now been over a week since I switched to Nyjer seed. I will occasionally see a lone house sparrow land on the feeder, but it's almost like it's just tasting the Nyjer seed, then decides it doesn't like it. I have seen both house finches and Carolina Wrens eating the Nyjer seed regularly...so I guess if I'm stuck with them, it's better than the house sparrows! Haha!
