Birds of summer

We experienced a first yesterday...I was sitting at the kitchen table when ds7 excitedly announced that there was a hummingbird right outside our sliding glass doors (and we do not have a hummingbird feeder). The hummingbird hovered outside our door just long enough for us to catch a glimpse of it but not long enough for us to catch a picture...

But we were able to get pictures of other birds that visited our yard this summer.

We had the privilege of hosting two different bird families this summer...

I spent a bit of time perched on the kids swingset in order to get this picture of one of the houseguests in our birdhouse (I believe that this is a house wren).
ds7 got this awesome picture of a robin gathering food...

And ds7 was also able to get a picture of this american goldfinch when it visited our yard.

I love your bird pictures! We had a hummingbird feeder for a good part of the summer and loved watching them. We are looking forward to cooler weather to see our winter birds come back! :)
