The weather has been a bit nasty these last couple of days, with extreme heat and humidity as well as bad storms. That and the beginning of the nesting season have slowed things down a bit but the hummer cam still got some fun footage of curious and silly feathered beings😆 I am so thankful for them, they make me laugh every single day ❤️

BOTD: Pine Grosbeak

"A big boreal finch, uncommon but widespread in spruce and fir forests of the North and the high mountains. It is often absurdly tame, allowing very close approach; ironically, this sometimes makes it easy to overlook in dense coniferous forest, since it may sit motionless as a birder walks by. On those occasions when Pine Grosbeaks move south in winter, they may be more conspicuous, often feeding on buds in the bare branches of maples or other trees."
