Apologies if this has been posted before... I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong but the additional data I add via the website like age/sex isn't appearing in the app when I check my submitted checklist. The only info that appears is the number of birds observed, my comment and photos. The attached photos show my submission for a pair of goldfinches. I added age/sex which appears in the web version bit it isn't displaying in the app. This has happened with all of my submissions. How do I get this to show? Is there a setting that controls this?

A squirrel who dreams of being a hummingbird who dreams of being a squirrel. LOL

After years of making my yard a hummingbird haven I think I have my first resident. I haven't had a sighting of a hummer this late in the season but I spotted this lovely lady on one of my cameras at about 6:00am this morning. They typically use my yard as a pit stop in April/May as they continue their journey north while migrating so this is exciting. I'm in Toronto Canada and this is a Ruby-throated Hummingbird.

It's always such a blessing when I get hummers to my feeders. So far it has always been singletons but I will gladly take it. This lovely female Ruby-throated hummer visited me this afternoon. I have worked so hard to make my yard inviting for them in hopes one of them will stay for the season. It's now June 1st and this is the latest I have had one. Normally they fly through in late April into May and I don't see them again until the fall migration. I saw her fly off into a tree behind my yard so hopefully she's sticking around and has babies. (Toronto, Ontario)

My first sighting of the year for a female Ruby-throated. She's been to my feeder numerous times today. Someone please tell me she's borby because she's carrying eggs. My first male of the year was on the 8th. I've been trying for 10 years to get hummers to stay. They've been using my yard as a pit stop for the north and south migrations so I've never had residents. If she's carrying eggs maybe I will get a nest and babies!

Excuse my messy looking yard. I always try to participate in "no mow May" but I usually don't make it because of my ugly grass. I need to rip it out and go for a "no lawn" yard.

There is nothing better than waking up to a couple notifications of a bird visiting my hummingbird feeder! It's even better when it's an actual hummingbird (male Ruby-throated)! I'm beginning to think I live just to serve at the pleasure of the hummingbirds that come to my yard! LOL I will never get over how small these guys are!

Hello h-bird community. I purchased a couple feeders a few years ago that came with these great flowers with a flap in the back. It allows the hummers to push it open but bees and ants can't. The flaps close again once the hummer pulls their bill out. I think I bought the feeders from temu but I haven't been able to find this type of flower anywhere, even on temu. Has anyone seen these? I would like to replace the flowers on some of my other feeders with these.
