I have little feeders on the windowsill and a swizzle stick stuck in the frame, and they like to perch there. When the ruby-throat showed up in April he went right to that spot. So now I’m hoping we all survive until next spring

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
