Birds

A slow motion video of several hummingbirds around the feeder on a rainy day.

I put a handful of raw whole peanuts in a tray for the wild birds every day. The Steller's Jays and Scrub Jays love them, hardly waiting for me to leave before diving down and grabbing one or two. They take them elsewhere to open and eat; we find peanut shells under trees all over the homestead.

I just refilled the hummingbird feeders, so the one by the house was still swaying, but that didn't put off a hungry hummer. Plus more on the other feeder.

I put out whole peanuts in a tray for the jays each morning.

A time-lapse video of a week of our pond, including our duck swimming around, me cleaning out the duck house in preparation for new ducklings, and a heron sighting.

Thanks to Camect for generating this summary video.

Eleven geese took an hour break from their migration in our pond. Our ducks were curious.
