New visitor today we have not seen them in our yard for a couple of years.
Most likely because of the dogs.
Hummingbird did not come to feeder. I saw him over at our Bungalow feeding on all of the azealias. Hopefully when the blooms are gone they will come back.
Thank you to all for all the wonderful comments you have left.

Crop Milk is secretion from the lining of the crop from the parent birds which is regurgitated to young birds.
