calling all wild bird feeders!!

Pics
We have a good variety of other kinds of birds though, when the blue jays aren't terrorizing them! I don't see many people talking about mockingbirds, but we have a lot of those and they are so much fun to have around.
 
We had a pair of mockingbirds raise a family in our garage fascia when we lived in Mississippi, and I detested those birds! Oh, they were fun to watch - until they decided that divebombing was perfect entertainment.

We had a pair in our junipers right next to our walk to the house in Florida. They did the same thing they were almost as bad as chickadees.

I had a hummingbird yesterday at my feeder! I have a feeling he will be starved, maybe even a zombie bird by the time he hits Texas. It s kind of late for them to be up here.
 
The BlueJays are fairly well behaved and share the feeders with the Cardinals and Woodpeckers. The Cardinals are the worst behaved of the bunch. Still hummingbird aerial war going on before the migration further south
 
Heel low:

On the way to the puppy playground yesterday morn,



our pair of pups flushed these up into a blue spruce...



I got some better shots of the second grouse (Bonasa umbellus), but then both burst into the air and flew off further into our forest.




Spouse says they come every fall to harvest the wild rose hips.

Man can they boot it with those short strong, wings, eh!

I got a couple like this one below too and it's that BEADY eye that gets me smiling every time I look at them.

"I see YOU...you can't possibly SEE me <<'er can you?>>!!"

The great feathered up hairdo...the strutty attitudes, the fact I don't hafta pack them provisions 'cause they can fly <be free> whenever they please, and yet we still get to admire them...not like they are a shred of extra work to the chore load now are they...

Kinda trumps the domestics and confined ones we keep...sometimes!

Winter is coming here. Watched a pair of Nuthatches fly to the bird bath for a morning drink. They did not drink - only stared at the 'water'. I then realized that it was frozen solid.

I will be donning my long underwear when we get back from breakfast at Cracker Barrel.
