Glass Hummingbirds

Today's theme for City Daily Photo is "Glass," but today is also Wild Bird Wednesday. For this challenge, I decided to use a glass bird. I couldn’t get a bright picture of it in the bedroom window where it usually hangs, so I brought it outdoors.


I also considered using my hummingbird window hanging. It looks like stained glass, but it’s actually a glass panel decorated with special material. I read that you produce one like this using acrylic paint mixed with a simple glue for thickness.



My other theme day idea also involved hummingbirds. These are my glass hummingbird feeders.


I haven’t seen any hummingbirds since before the rain on Saturday. The last pictures of them taken by the bird cam was snapped six days ago. I suspect our local ruby-throated hummingbirds have gone south, but I’m leaving a feeder up in case other hummingbirds stop by while migrating from farther north.


My Birdfy device is not designed for hummingbirds; it is intended to hold seeds. I added a shallow hummingbird feeder to the seed tray. 


Best of luck to all the birds who are traveling this month. It is October, so cold weather is on the way.
