Lovely work, thank you for posting such nice pictures too. I live in a high rise condo now, I miss my garden and backyard birds. This gives me some vicarious enjoyment. I hope you don't mind if I use some of your pictures to sketch in my sketchbook.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11466793682978585514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2010921422659089253.post-22569699909440482682020-09-26T11:20:37.751-04:002020-09-26T11:20:37.751-04:00I've missed you!

Tornadoes ...Thank you for sharing your experience. Tornadoes may be very different from hurricanes in that they develop within an existing storm rather than arrive as a widespread severe storm. Sadly, I expect your observation is correct. Since your magnolia is attractive as a nesting site, it will likely attract new nesting females over time. Leaving a few feeders out will help this process along.Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11301484477954719161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2010921422659089253.post-27325365020640333282019-07-07T14:58:36.807-04:002019-07-07T14:58:36.807-04:00I live in southern Oklahoma.

This year on April 30th a tornado hit the town I live in and now we have very very little hummingbirds. Days will go by before I see 1 at all. We have had 7 feeders out and maybe get 1 or 2 every day or so. I think the tornado killed the little birds we had here. Now all we have are mainly wasps and honey bees feeding at our feeders. Very sad. I think by next week if we do not see more I will be taking them all down. We are going to end up getting stung and I do not want that for my mom or myself. Thank you for this article. Just wanted to share my story with you all!

Occasionally I'm a little late re-hanging them before daylight. Impatient hummingbirds fly right up to me as I am putting them back in place, familiar with my behavior and seemingly unbothered by how close I am.

She had humming birds nest IN her house after HUGO..somehow they had weathered the storm that sat over St. Croix for 8 hours, devastating everything. Mom also observed that after Hugo, sparrows suddenly appeared on St. Croix...she grew up there and did not recall seeing sparrows on the island before hurricane winds apparently brought them in.Bookwermehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04133916816183873995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2010921422659089253.post-26381889586913120972017-03-15T18:57:19.048-04:002017-03-15T18:57:19.048-04:00Thank you, Mary!
