Happy 4th from jjthebackyardbirder!

It's going to be a hot Fourth of July weekend for much of the country. Let's help our fine feathered friends by cleaning and filling birdbaths and fountains with fresh water.

And please keep the nectar in hummingbird and oriole feeders fresh. When temperatures reach the 90s, nectar can ferment in as little as a day. If you see mold on your feeders, you're waiting too long to clean them. More information on cleaning and instructions for making nectar are available on this blog.

Happy Birding!
J.J.
