Sure doesn't seem like the season is ending but all the birds have fledged and it's getting quite, bummer. We had a good season approx. 28 fledges. Hoping for lots of birds returning next year. I miss them already!

Thanks Tom! The most important part of the picture time lapse is my wife pre-nesting the gourds. That's where all the fun starts. LOL
