backyard sightings

with the warmer weather the activity has dropped the past couple days,,more likely with bugs and so forth to feed on
just have a new female broad tailed showed up yesterday,,i can tell shes new as she flaps her wings and settles down after a bit to drink

the only other one is the male broad tailed feeding on both feeders,,the only one that does so far

i made up a hanging nesting cage as its called,,saw it for sale for around $13 and made one for free out of chicken wire,,filled it with dryer lint and hung it on the closeline next to the nesting box for them to gather from

also put out the plastic container containing 5 apple cores,,2 over ripe bananas and 2 apples,,put in 2 more bananas today to attract fruit flys for the birds

seems i'm going to wait for Watters garden to get their trumpet vines in stock ready to sell to plant one in the backyard
