Hummingbirds are on the move

Keep those nectar feeders full

Fall migration is underway for many species of birds, including the Ruby-throated Hummingbirds that nest in Minnesota. They're as likely to visit your nectar feeders now as in the spring, and perhaps hang around longer. It often takes rough fall weather to move them out of the state. During our Lutsen visit recently we had at least four hummingbirds visiting the cabin feeder, one adult female, one adult male, and two juveniles. The photos I like best captured an impression of hummer action.

As an eviction crisis has seemed increasingly likely this summer, everyone in the housing market has made the same plea to Washington: Send money — lots of it — that would keep renters in their homes and landlords afloat.

It’s too soon to tell how much the immigration crackdown is to blame.
