Where are all the birders? [View all]

Usually there are several new messages in the Birder group in the old forums!

We've got house finches nesting in our hanging impatiens flower basket on the front porch. So far they have hatched three chicks. It's been a challenge watering the plant without drowning the chicks and the parents get pissed if we have our dinner on the porch.

So we're moving the table to let them have some peace to raise their babies.

Our Everglades kites are back for the summer and the swallowtail kites have been cruising overhead.
