| Yay, I just got the final glass I needed for RO |

| I was talking about the decline of their numbers appearing this season, "if it's not avian flu" |
| Versailles |
| If it's not avian flu, maybe the heatwaves are throwing off their migrations. |
| Versailles |
| I DO know I've seen some sick hummingbirds, but I suspect these are cases of neighbours not cleaning their feeders. The tongue swells up and the hummingbird can't drink... :( |

| @Versa, yeah it makes sense. UT is known for their water birds though especially with the great salt lake. |
| Versailles |
| The struggle is if it spreads to the flying flocks. Then the bigger warnings go around. It's not that it primarily affects water birds, as much as it is the water birds aren't really interacting with the other species, if that makes sense |
| Hummingbird Meadows |
| @Versa, that is my understanding, yes. I am in UT and you are way over in TN though. |
| Versailles |
| Wolf, Other than the fit it has thrown, it's... Doing hand things I guess, functioning as I'd hope while screeching about it angrily. LOL |
| Versailles |
| Ahhh, so you were told to worry about water birds probably because that's what's currently sick in your area. Over here, there's major warnings of avian flu going around and it's suggested feeders are taken down entirely. So it's chill over there, currently |
| Hummingbird Meadows |
| @Versa, I thought about taking my feeder down, but was told in my area to only worry about water birds at the moment. I haven't refilled it anyways though since I hardly see any visitors, but that is typical for summer. |
| Versailles |
| Nah, it's hitting a lot of things... I've had to bleach my brand new feeder three times already because of sick visitors |
| Hummingbird Meadows |
| @Versa, my understanding was it is primarily affecting water birds? |
| Hummingbird Meadows |
| @Cloud, I just made a post in one of my birding groups on Facebook to see if anyone else is experiencing something similar. =/ |
