Thank you, All MOU contributors for your input! It does my heart good to read that some of you do have healthy hummers. I must add to one member’s report that the Orioles have disappeared from our neighborhood the past month and a half. And the Red Wing Blackbirds are no longer heard at our pond. 😟 We do hear cardinals, a wren, robin, Great Horned Owl pair for the first time in 2 years, and dozens of crows congregating making a racket almost daily. Weirdly enough, our big pond is really full, but not one of the usual Canada Geese have been on the water or anywhere near it for weeks. Also, I've only seen a few small moths flitting around. No butterflies this summer. 🥺 Kathryn Rudd, Eagan

I wondered if with the heat the mix should be more dilute? which I am currently trying I still have around 10 & caught a glimpse of an apparent mating a couple days ago The basswoods are blooming so who knowa Carlton County ---- General information and guidelines for posting: https://moumn.org/listservice.html Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html During the pandemic, the MOU encourages you to stay safe, practice social distancing, and continue to bird responsibly. ---- General information and guidelines for posting: https://moumn.org/listservice.html Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html During the pandemic, the MOU encourages you to stay safe, practice social distancing, and continue to bird responsibly.
