We are going through a Summer with high temperatures and high humidity. A week like that ends and it follows a week of daily rains and storms.
It is annoying but we just have to adjust to the new climate patterns.
Birds are also changing their own ways in order to not get affected by the drastic temperatures. For example… At the beginning of Summer I saw Hummingbirds coming to drink nectar and… simply vanished from my backyard. I thought there was a problem with the nectar, got new one and replaced it, still didn’t make a difference, still did not see the hummingbirds. Although I saw the nectar decrease in quantity, I thought it might have been evaporating due to the heat. Then one day I saw the Hummingbird at a late time, it was almost dark, when the sun sets. As you can see, they adjust too!
I’ve seen several birds already began the process of molting. This process makes the birds not look at their best. I’ll publish only a few for samples.

We learn so much about the weather, climate, and feeding patterns when we are attentive to our feeders; it’s a wonderful gift. Great post, HJ.

In general, the creatures of the wild, adapt themselves to what Nature decides to do. We should complaint less and do the same. Let’s learn from the ones that have been around for millions of years. Thank you my friend! 🙂

I watch my birds to learn and enrich my knowledge of common sense. Thank you Clare. 🙂
