It would appear that the redwing blackbirds have left for the season. Same for the tree swallows. Off to southern coastal states, Mexico and Central America. Jill spotted bluebirds in the bird bath. The robins continue picking-about in the yard. Cardinals, kingbirds, hummers and goldfinches are everywhere, warblers are passing-thru. It's been the best year in memory for indigo buntings, purple finches and orchard orioles. And with all the dead and dying ash on the landscape woodpeckers rule the world around here.
The orioles are still hanging-around but they're not long for this neighborhood and will be departing before too long. And the porch camera will likely be redeployed somewhere in the woods.
Meanwhile, the grape jelly has been removed as it's been attracting bald-faced hornets; and those buggers are sociopaths.
Last batch of photos.....
