Assuming we get the 70s (or more) later next week, leaves here should come on in a rush. Blackflies, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately my sick chicken chose that day to pass on and I became lunch trying to bury it out in the woods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least I've got memories of the tanager to hold me over. I'm going through two whole oranges a day. I need to get some grape jelly to change it up.

Just from watching youtube feeder videos, it seems the order of preference is jelly, oranges, and then nectar. I ordered this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BH94QZ8/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ... but the ship date keeps changing and by the time I get it, it'll probably be too late. I wish I had a more out in the open spot to put the feeders. Tucked at the edge of the property under trees really limits the visibility to birds passing by.

The orioles and catbirds really went for the nectar, but the bees and ants did as well. I got frustrated with cleaning their corpses out of it. edit: also, you may want to get a domed cover for that feeder to keep the rain out. the jelly starts getting nasty otherwise.

I do have to say that this is one of the prettiest parts of the country. The hills are really impressive....I'm not not sure if any go to 5000, but I see at least one at 4700' and a whole slew well above 4k. I love it here. RN+ and thunder.

CT has pretty good incentives but Massachusetts is the best in the nation. The return on buying them is insane. Hopefully your buying them outright and getting all the incentives and tax rebates. Expected payback here is 6 years and I got a 22k system for 9k after the state incentive and federal rebate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we'll make it into West Virginia before crashing for the night. Then, a long day of drive-time tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
