The first wave has arrived. I know it's not fishing related but it is pretty cool. Filling 4 feeders once a day right now it will soon triple that. _________________ I LIKE MINE FRIED. |

NICE pictures.
I commented somewhere else that during last years fall migration, we went through 50 lbs of sugar at my house! Filling feeders daily, and then, sometimes twice a day. Cheap price for the cool entertainment. |

Sorry IMS wasn't trying to out do. Just shot these, thought I'd add them in.
@Central Scrutinizer we are going through a pound of sugar a day, refill twice a day. Never had this many before. Very cool.
@horse51 J/K Camera & lens is damn expensive. I'm fortunate my wife likes pics & lets me try & figure out how to take a half way decent photo. |

No no...please out do me. The pics are great! What a variety. I just have Black Chin and Ruby red throats. I hope a Rufus ventures my way or some other type. _________________ I LIKE MINE FRIED. |

Some time last year this little guy wandered into our shop. With our really high ceillings there was no way we could catch him. He flew around for about 4-5 hours before finally collapsing. We carefully picked him up took a quick picture and stuck his beak into some awaiting sugar water. It took him a few seconds but once he knew what it was his little tongue was going 100 mph. I took him outside, opened up my hand and he stayed there for a bit before taking off. Looked like he would be ok. Was a great feeling to see him fly away! _________________ I like fishies |
