A Few Ideas For Bird Watchers

Your Bird Feeder

A reminder to change your hummingbird feeder “nectar” at least every three days, especially now that we are in the season of heat (103 in Ridgefield last week). Potentially harmful bacteria can grow quickly in very warm sugar-water.

Is The Summer A Slow Time At The Bird Feeder?

Your Bird Feeder

In the summer, birds are busy raising young and try to remain hidden as much as possible. The waterfront — with its waders and shorebirds — is usually the best place to be during the summer if you want to see birds.

The Birds Are At The Feeder

Bird Feeder
