Summertime Nature in New Jersey.

Birds of the day viewed in my backyard: Ruby-throated Hummingbird, Downy Woodpecker, American Goldfinch, Brown-headed Cowbird. The American Goldfinch are feeding on Cosmos, Sunflowers, and in the Zinnia patch. The Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are feeding on Canna flowers and in the Zinnia patch. I did notice in some of the closeup images that there are white spots on the beak and head of one of the hummingbirds — mites???
