Bird Feeders at Rocky River Reservation

The nature center at the Rocky River Reservation has a several bird feeders set up outside of it's windows. We visited yesterday to see some honey being extracted from honeycombs. That didn't take too long, so after we finished watching that, we decided to hang out by the feeders.

The squirrels were pretty active around the feeders. You always see chipmunks on the ground near the feeders picking up the seeds the birds drop, but the fox squirrels were getting pretty bold. There is netting over the windows to keep the birds from flying into the windows and killing themselves. The squirrels were using it to their advantage to climb to the feeders. I caught a couple of them in the act.

There were also some humming birds. I've never seen one in person, so I was happy to finally be able to see one. I think it was a rufous hummingbird but I'm not %100 certain. Still, it was nice to see one in person.
