    Always a treat to see the Rose Breasted Grosbeak on their migration. The Cornell site is wonderful, and I enjoy supporting it. It has helped me so much in identifying birds that are incidental to may area. My next door neighbor and I have very different habitats though we are right next door. (span of about 13 acres combined). We are very wooded (hardwoods) with some yard. He is large yard and a pond. Together we have a haven for several distinctive birds with preferred environments.

      Habitat is everything. Sounds like you have loads of it. Love Cornell.

    OK I have lots of hummingbirds this year. I have seven feeders, and there is Minnie on each one. A Bluejay swooped down and took a hummingbird. Have you heard of this happening before? If so, is there tips that I can do to keep them safe .. thanks so much

      Wow. I haven't heard of a Blue Jay doing that. I don't know if there really is any way to protect against that. The hummers are such skilled flyers they generally don't have to worry about other birds.
