I feel so blessed that a pair of painted buntings returns every spring and stays through the summer. In the first photo, the female is at the left feeder and the male is at the right. Every time I see them, they make me stop and watch. Such beautiful visitors! 💚💙❤️💛

During this peak migration period, it is important to turn off all non-essential lights from 11 p.m. - 6 a.m. to prevent birds from becoming disoriented on their flight north. 🦅

Additionally, shields can be installed on all essential exterior lighting so that the light is shining towards the ground.

I first noticed this Rufous Hummingbird bird in mid November nectaring from my flowers. I have sporadically seen it over the last month. Yesterday was the first time that I’ve seen it at the feeder. I have seen it multiple times there today. We just have a few flowers left. Roufus hummers rarely overwinter in our area. We are so lucky to have him. 🤎💚

We are blessed to have a pair of Painted Buntings that spend the summers with us. This is the third summer that we have had them. 💙❤️💛💚 Video is from July 20.

Gulf Fritillary caterpillars completely stripped our passion vine. There are at least 15 cats on the vine. My mom had a new passion vine and gave it to me, so I could feed the hungry caterpillars. 😁🐛🦋 🌸
