calling all wild bird feeders!!

[duluthralphie]

It is recommended that we leave the feeders up during the winter. We have a number of migrant birds in the winter.

I feed all winter, but I get my better, prettier birds this time of year. Winter is fun but it is a lot of chickadees, Juncos, and drab goldfinches.

I didn't make it clear. I was referring to hummingbird feeders. I haven't seen any my self in the winter but there are quite a few verified reports here in the winter. I see them from April through October but we only see Ruby Throated. A lot of strays in the winter are Rufus.

Ahh,, We only get ruby throated and only for a few months.

I have a male rose breasted Grosbeak and two females at the feeder right now, so I must have more than one pair of them, they are so pretty.

More bird pictures. a cardinal sitting on the top of the feeder this morning.





New record on male rose breasted grosbeaks, 5 at once!

Great, I would like to see the Grosbeaks. The Red Bird picture is beautiful.

Your wish is my command, BUT I improved on your request, I give you 5 rose breasted Grosbeaks, a cardinal, a gold finch and an indigo bunting all in one picture.

Great 'group' shot.

I've actually been having an indigo bunting at my feeder the last few days! I haven't seen one of those around for a few years. It's nice to see them again.

I got my first Hummer this morning!!!


He sure did not pick a nice day to return on, it is yucky rainy windy and 38 degrees here.
