Sticking their beaks into every flower they see. He is quite agile and appears to have no trouble flying at all. I got a good look at his feathers and they are much more developed then Rain’s.
Meanwhile, Rain has taken up residence in our backyard and makes frequent trips to the feeder. I have seen her snapping at flies as they come close, but I haven’t seen her catch one yet. That doesn’t mean that she hasn’t, just that I haven’t seen her do it. Flower has stopped feeding her now, as her current eggs near hatching, but I did see Flower giving a fly catching demonstration for Rain over our neighbor’s compost pile. Rain sat in a branch while Flower zipped around chattering and snatching flies out of the air not 4 ft from Rain. Rain’s a quick learner and I think she got it.
