A female ruby throated hummingbird was a pout-puff this morning; grumpy about not having any other #birds to chase away from HER feeder.

A female, ruby, threaded, hummingbird, with a light gray breast coloration and dark green back coloration, sits on the top of a single dead twig extending above green leaves.

Her plumage is heavily puffed out, making her appear much larger than she actually would normally be

My shower curtain keeps growing this odd mold. It makes a purring sound and swats at my feet. Seems noteworthy. #cats #catsky #catsofBluesky #floofcats

A fluffy white cat with grey tail, ears, and chin is on a hardwood floor looking up. Her mouth is slightly open and the fluff merges together into some odd gremlin ball.

Luna is a Shape. Perhaps the most Shape, although I need more cat pics to decide for sure. #cats #catsofbluesky #catsky #floofcats

A roughly triangular blob of white fur is seen. A gray tail extends from the top, to cat paw are at the bottom, and a cat face with gray forehead appears paste it in the middle.

This sugar snap pea, separated from its herd, has little chance of escaping from such an adept apex predator. Such is the natural order of things. #caturday #cats #catsofbluesky

It is commonly suggested to put aluminum foil on surfaces that you do not want your cat to walk or sit on because they don't like the feel of it Advice not valid if Orange apparently. #catsky #cats #orangecats #catsofbluesky

A fluffy orange and white cat sits on top of an aluminum foil covered baking sheet. He does not seem bothered.

Some excellent cat tv this morning for Sunny and Luna. #catsofbluesky #caturday

Two cats sit next to each other on a deep windowsill. The window is open, and the cats are looking outside. A birdfeeder can be seen behind them. The cats are long-haired, one white with orange spots and an orange tail, the other white with black spots and a black tail.

A yellow-shafted northern flicker paid a visit to the birdbath this afternoon. He was quite thirsty and spent a while before returning to his bug-hunt 🪶

A medium-large bird sits on the edge of a bird bath looking outwards. It has a dark green-brown back and light brown chest with black spots on each feather. His cheeks and front neck sport stylish strokes of solid black, and a red band can be seen at the back of his head.

This cool appearance is ruined by the fact that one of his butt feathers is soaking in the water.

Raspberries are producing nearly a pound every other day, the peach trees are beginning to ripen, blackberries are turning pink, and the tomato plants will soon be taller than I am. I love this time of year. #gardening #fruittrees

A blueberry thief makes a quick getaway. Gray Catbirds love fruit, and from personal observations I can attest that they are also quite adept at finding holes in bird netting. #birds #gardening

Bluebird babies are getting very close to fledging now and I'll soon be able to clean things up for the next #birds to move in. Mom and dad let things get really messy this year, so the box will get a good scrubbing.

The #birds at the feeder are really starting to pop! It has been fun watching the goldfinches quickly become highlighter-yellow.

Three small birds are perched at a tube shaped feeder. All three are very bright yellow with black and white wings and small "cap"-like black area at the top of their head.

A 🪶 traveler making a pit stop on a long journey. Rose-breasted Grosbeaks migrate between a winter range in Central America or the Caribbean and a breeding range across much of the northern US and Canada.

A medium sized bird with a short stout beak is perched at a hanging tube shaped feeder half full of dark seed. Green grass is in the background

The bird's coloration is: black head, black back, black tail, black wings with white bars, a white belly, and an area of bright red on its upper breast.

Trying out digiscoping for the first time with the red bellied woodpeckers nesting behind my house. It's going to take some fiddling to minimize the vignetting and the chromatic aberrations from my cheap binoculars, good thing there are so many #birds to practice with!

A photograph showing the top of a dead tree with patchy remains of bark, against a light blue background. A medium sized bird with a red head and cream breast is perched at the tip of a branch, and a dark hole can be seen in the trunk where the branch joins.

The photograph is slightly softer focus near the top edge.

Heads up to backyard bird lovers of the US mid-Atlantic: house sparrows are starting to actively scout for nesting sites. If you have any bluebird boxes keep an eye out and be ready to evict any sparrows. While cute they are aggressive and invasive, native cavity nesting #birds need our help!

Two small house sparrows, one male and one female, are on top of a wooden bird nesting box, which has a hole on the front face. Large green leaves are in the background.

This bluebird hung out with its tail🪶 soaking in the birdbath for a good 15 minutes. Not all #birds have crow-smarts I suppose.

This Carolina Wren has been shoveling sunflower seeds out of my feeders, searching for already open ones. Occasionally it just sits there looking grumpy about the other #birds and their fancy seed-opening beaks.
