Deer season starts in roughly a month.
I can’t imagine, it’s been 80 by 8 am around here, hunting in shorts and sweating buckets.

The hummingbirds are crazy right now. There are at least 30 of them buzzing me.
Cool here with intermittent showers.
They are here all day.
Kind of annoying but the wife likes them.

If you have never heard the sounds of 30+ hummingbirds nervously feeding and fighting, then you cannot conceive the annoyance.
Sometimes I cannot even sit out there.
Imagine the sound of a 1/2 pound bee constantly buzzing you, them multiply that by 30x.
Then there is the squeaking!!!!
Maddening!!!
What an enchanting little video, thanks so much for showing us!HSigurdsson wrote: ↑Tue Aug 15, 2023 10:17 amHere they are.Sheridan wrote: ↑Sat Aug 12, 2023 2:34 pmAn enchanting image you’ve embedded in my minds eye.

We get hoards of them here, but I enjoy watching them as I sip a glass and a pipe. Once they discover all the feeders they can be demanding.
I’ve been in the garden and they will fly over and Hoover in front of me until I go fill them lol

Its funny you say that.
If the feeders are empty, the birds do not bother me.
But, if my wife is outside, they will pester her.
I am not unkind to the birds, they just know that im not the one to feed them.
They may be smarter than goats.
Our goats will pester a scarecrow or a tree for food!!
