Our hummingbirds are still flying in and out to our feeders. They are fascinating to watch and so quick. This is a photo (taken through glass) of one of the two regular females we have. If you look you can see she is sticking her tongue out ready to sip the nectar. Still trying to get a photo of the male who is proving more elusive.
We have also had another turtle in the garden. This one was much shyer than the one the other day. As soon as we got near him he stuck his head in and refused to come out.
We have baby squirrels again this year. Once again a female decided to use one of our nesting boxes – the same one she used last year. This morning two of the three babies ventured out for the first time.
The other day we saw our first Blandings Turtle of the year. Every year since we have lived here we have seen several of them travel across our garden. We have no idea where they come from or where they go.
Also I managed to get a photo of the baby killdeer. We started off with four babies, but there are now only three although they are growing up fast and will probably be leaving us in a couple of weeks. There are just two in this pic.
We also have two different female hummingbirds visiting our feeder and one male. This is one of the females. There will be more and better pics of these to follow.
