    I loved learning that hummingbirds use spider webs to make their nests!

    I didn't know that hummingbirds eat so many insects!  I thought their primary food source was nectar.  I also didn't realize that they spend so much time perching.  Now I have looked for them perching in the trees outside my window.

    Ruby throated hummingbirds are frequent visitors to my blueberry bushes which are right outside my dining room window.  I love to watch them while I eat.

    The aerodynamics of their flying is fascinating to me.  They are able to maneuver in ways that other birds can't.

    The ruby throated hummingbird visits my blueberry bushes here in New York State.  I don't put out feeders because of the bear.

    I have the same problem.  I have to  travel about an hour and a half to get to a native plant nursery.

    I have ordered some seed for a pollinator garden from Ernst Conservation Seed.  I plan to convert a mown lawn space into a pollinator garden, starting with a space that's about 8' x 4' and expanding over several years.  I would also like to put up a deer fence to protect some of the wild raspberry bushes to save them for the birds.

    I hadn't known how many owls eat insects.

    Yes.  I was very surprised to see what I believe was a barred owl sitting on a branch outside my living room window along the Schoharie Creek in upstate New York.
