As I sit on my porch swing, only a few feet from the feeders, I can watch them eating insects around and on the crab apple tree, between drinks from the feeder. When I first saw it a few years ago, I had to look up what they eat and was surprised to learn they ate the bugs for their protein requirements. Now that the dog days of summer are here the feeders are in full use. They empty three a week now... -------------------- "Hunts are best measured by the endurance of the memories they produce..."
