They're amazingly beautiful birds!

We try to leave as many plants as possible accessible to the birds and the bees. They all keep nature chugging along.

But it looks like they have two or three successful nests nearby and I think some of the ones I’m seeing now are fledglings. The juvenile males. My brother gave me that new feeder for Christmas and they really seem to like it.
