Last week when I was in North Carolina I spent a lot of time watching the birds around my parents house. This time the highlight was definitely the Ruby-throated Hummingbirds, of which there are 4 frequenting the feeder. Very entertaining as they were almost always there, often chattering and fighting with each other.

Another highlight, babies! There were 6 or 7 Wild Turkey babies. And many juvenile birds coming to the feeder, plus a family of Bluebird’s with 3 juveniles out in the field, stayed too high for photos but I admired them very much with my binoculars.

And then there are bugs… lots of bugs. Lightning bugs in the field at night! So cool! And always butterflies in the garden.
