A nice male ruby-throated hummingbird finally made an appearance at our feeders this evening in Epworth.

We also have a Cooper's Hawk sitting on eggs. We first noticed the nest a week ago but the pair have been seen around the house for several weeks. We still have close to a hundred goldfinches, several purple finches and several pine siskins. We apparently have a resident flock of turkeys with three plus males displaying and strutting magnificently. While checking the bluebird house by opening the side viewing door, a bat dropped to the ground. Due to the rabies epidemic in our county I left it to see what would happen. By dark it had flown away and several bats were flying around the windows by the light from inside.
