calling any one from missouri

[jthornton]

We have been seeing a hummingbird at our feeder for the last week or so... just the one AFAIK. I can't recall seeing an Oriole here before...

I saw an oriole here on Sunday. I probably wouldn’t have noticed except that it flew into my window twice. (Feeder is 30+ feet from window.)

Broody mama is due to hatch any day. I never got around to candling her eggs & I don’t want to mess with them now. I revisited Cackle’s website & surprise, they have chicks hatching tomorrow. I might be making a run to Lebanon after all.

I saw a hummingbird. Ain't a darn thing for them to eat out here neither.
I hurried and fixed some nectar.
Haven't yet saw or heard an Oriole. Zark must have them all this year.
I put out some oranges and jelly so.. we'll see.

Yep... they’re all at my house, lol

we have a pretty good mob of them this year... whereas last year only we only had a few

I found cheap grape jelly at Menards a while back, so they’ve been feasting on that... I gave them a few oranges too... and sugar water in an orange feeder, but they kinda ignore that

I had to set up the feeders in a cat proof location this year, so they’re not as close to the house as in the past... so this is not the best picture but here are a couple of them

Just checked on mama hen & one of her green eggs has pipped. Woohoo!

And just as I suspected the minute I put the Oriole stuff out ..it starts pouring down rain today.
I'm feeding the ants I guess.

Cackle sometimes closes the storefront so they can pull all the employees to work in packing chicks, so make sure they are open.

Indeed that’s the struggle every year...

speaking of... how about some soggy iris pics

Online chat told me the storefront only answers the phone on Friday, hmmm.
