The happenings as the summer season is winding down here now and the next season of Fall/Autumn slowly creeps in . We have lots of rain today and chilly winds .
For the most part our summer birds have flown the coop per say and have headed south , our hummers are still hanging here fueling up with as much as they can handle before they take off soon on their journey .
Our fall birds have returned as others stay here all year .
One early morning last week as the sun was rising I was outside as I usually am on sunny warm mornings and had a wonderful time watching the birds about the yard and was chatting away to them and taking their photos . Thank goodness the neighbor's cant hear me chatting to them or they may think I am bonkers lol ! I do talk to the animals though .
I am glad to see our nuthatch has returned , these little guys are so cute .
We have quite a few Cardinals about both adults and Juvenile's like this on in the photo above they stay all year .
Whilst some plants in my gardens have come to an end and the few I have left are still in bloom the Goldfinch snack on the seeds of some of them.
Our Blue Jays arrived a week ago and have been elusive to the feeders and yard till now.
Well that’s about it for me , in the coming days as the weather picks up again as we are in for more summer like temps and sunshine I will be busy with the end of summer clean up in the gardens and yard and enjoying a campfire/ chiminea fire or two as well like we did over the weekend .
Until next time .

The nights are cooler here now, and I've worn a jacket today for the first day in several months.
It had sure felt like Fall with the cool temperatures the past couple of days. Lots of needed rain today. I’ve been doing a job a day to tidy the garden, but not today. Did a couple more crafts instead of being outside. Haven’t seen the nuthatch or junco yet, but the goldfinches are losing their brilliant yellow.
We don't get your bird life in our tiny backyard townhouse, but the chickadees visit on occasion. Yesterday, I stood about a metre away from a birdbath while they visited and hovered in the lilac bush next to it. Then a goldfinch came and was not at all impressed with my presence.
It's so quiet here with all the summer birds gone. I haven't seen a hummer in over a week now but may get a straggler yet. The chickadees are coming around more and I've seen a few bluejays. We're getting rain here today and we need it but the rest of the week will be sunny and hot again thanks to some tropical temps from down south. Have a good week!
Your birds are are really cute. I have the same characters in my yard and now the season is changing I wonder when the Juncos are going to turn up. They are a winter bird for us. Enjoyed your post :)
