    Do any fellow birders have tips on finding and communicating with birding communities in foreign countries, specifically Japan? I’m having a difficult time finding a birding community while studying abroad. I used to bird with my college club, but the students of my host university and my fellow abroad students don’t seem to have any interest.

    I think my birds associate me with food. If my feeders are empty, the birds all come over to me and start chirping, rather than hanging around the feeders.

      My hummingbirds do this too!

    The hummingbirds on my property often dive bombed and chattered at other people, but never at me- I was always out gardening and they were used to me. The only time they ever chattered at me was when I had been out of town for two weeks and their feeders were empty. When I went out to refill it, 4 of them were chattering at me and buzzing around my head. In the spring, when they returned to my yard, if the feeders were not out yet, they would fly along the dining room window, so we would see them and get the feeders out. They are such smart little birds.

    Wow, I adore hummingbirds but I did not know about their nightly torpor!

    I used to be into seeing the most types of birds. As I’ve aged, I’ve become much more interested watching the behavior of well known birds.
