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.

Per the chat link, he/she is still being fed.

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:
