The colors of the goldfinches are nice and bright, the house sparrows and tit mice are frequent visitors to the feeders. My pieces of weighted fishing lines near/on feeders are still deterring the house sparrows, and the hummingbirds are back. Look at that ruby throat. Love my summertime visitors!

Thanks. The feeder has been noticed a few times when I share pics of the hummers. It has a bit of an antique look to it. I'm happy with it and it and it actually was less than $20.00. I like the glass feeders, but I've had a few that leak, etc. This has been a good one.

What's up with the last eaglet? Haven't seen him flapping even. Has anyone seen if the parents are still feeding him?

I have not...Liberty is four days younger than Freedom, so he should be out of there soon.

It's very windy here today...he may be just hanging on until it dies down.

Parent is there right now with a dead bird - doesn't look too fat.

EDIT - Parent left and Berty is chowing down.

Just checked Camera B. One eaglet is on a nearby branch and the other is in the nest. All appears well!

Here is a screenshot I just took:
