Tree swallows made an appearance

| While pruning my muscadines, a few hundred tree swallows circled around for about a half hour, landing in the wax myrtles in the area. Definitely an awesome sight to see. I was wondering if they were gonna show. Haven't seen my goldfinches in about a week! Still seeing at least two couples of painted buntings, and lots of other birds. I just filled my feeders yesterday, and the birds are acting ravenous.

| Gary, I have only had a few finches in my yard this year as well. Normally I can't keep my feeders full. I do have 2 pairs of painted buntings and for the first time a hummer going to my feeder. The robins show up every couple of weeks and spend the morning in my yard then leave. By the way I am in Indian River County. |

| Yesterday we had a Cooper's Hawk land in our longleaf pine for a while. Still haven't seen my goldfinches any more, but we did see about 4 or 5 couples of painted buntings. That's the most I've ever seen at once, was very exciting to see so many. It was hard to be sure if it was 4 or 5 couples because they kept scaring each other off the feeders, so they never stayed still. Gary |
