I was pleased this am when I saw 3 Tree Swallows wheeling about over head, 
obviously feeding on something. Just now I was checking on them, the temps 
seem to have gone down, and was startled to see a Hummingbird checking out a 
stand of daffodils. I do have a feeder out, the chickadees have been using 
it a fair bit. No photo, as yet. My camera is being persnickety these days 
and it may need replacing. I am not sure what to do about that. I really 
like this camera and I am not good at learning new things these days, heavy 
sigh.

Other birds still coming are Woodpeckers, Downys, Hairys as well as Northern 
Flickers, Chickadees, Juncos, the odd Goldfinch. Sparrows; Song and 
White-Throateds, Robins, Blue Jays Starlings, Grackles, Red-winged 
Blackbirds and Mourning Doves seem to be the crew still hanging out here. 
There are seed cakes going out but the other feeders are down. The Grapevine 
and Kiwi are gone and the arbour structure as well; that is to be replaced, 
making the yard  so different. It is interesting to watching the reactions 
of birds as they realize there are changes. They definitely have memories 
likely better than mine.

And never stops–at all." (Emily Dickinson)
