Summertime Nature in New Jersey.

Birds of the day viewed in my backyard: Ruby-throated Hummingbird. The hummingbirds stayed away from the hummingbird feeder due to the yellowjackets. They only were feeding on the Canna flowers. Something was spooking the other birds keeping them away from the patio and birdfeeders.
