Early Winter?

[Dave]

I saw the first flock of northern geese headed south yesterday. They are a couple weeks early.

The flash of the camera really captures that irridescent green coloring. That has to be really something, if you're out there, not too far from them, when there are so many......the sound of their humming has to be very noticeable! I know how loud one can be, as it buzzes by my head.

Love those pictures! Thank you!!

This morning

I keep telling my wife that the red food coloring is just for us 'people'--the birds don't care.
She don't get it.

NICE picture!

One doesn't need the red colored juice as long as there's red nectar feeders. They are drawn to the red color.

Little birds with a large jet engine are hard to photograph in flight.

Action shots!!

About the time I get the camera focused, the little guy flies away.

What's in the plastic bag/tarp? It looks like you're curing a ham.

Thanks again for the photos!

Hmmmmmm, interesting idea. Does that work with/against other types of wasps?

I don't get any wasp nest of any kind as hornets are a predator to them and the territory
is claimed. That said we have a lot of Bald Face hornets around here.
They make one a commercial one Home Depot carries

When it turns real cold, I'll get you a real one CB--you can hang it on your porch--just don't take the aluminum tape off.

Just read an article that first real cold front could be next week.

GB there is a long story about real hornets nest that I got in hot water with the Mrs.
So for a more harmonious outcome in my universe I will stick with the fake ones.

All I will say grand kids were involved and that will get me in more trouble with the Mrs.
than I desire to deal with.
Secondly bald face hornets loose in the house is not good for my universe.

Don't forget to order a big pile of artisanal firewood.

Dunno about that, but I have seen men abandon a perfectly good bass boat on account of trolling along under low hanging branches with red wasp or yellow jacket nests in them.

A local barbershop had a reall micely varnished bladfaced hornet next haning in one corner. Come spring it disappeared so I had to ask. Turned out he hadn;t killed all of the larvae in it and they hatched.

Must've been some of those guinea wasp "yellow jackets". Real yellow jackets would drown anybody that jumped in the water.
