    A pair of white breasted nuthatches have been hammering away at my chickadee box, I hope they stick around.

    The iridescent guy is a boat tailed grackle :) The flying trio are brown pelicans My favorite pine warbler is back along with some other springtime migrants, the rest should follow in the next month.

    I’d say both owls are barred owls, adults or almost there. Awesome to see them in the day like that. The one in the second pic definitely looks a bit disheveled. Maybe you caught him or her drying off from a bath :p I also think the the dark bird in the swamp is probably an anhinga. They’re...

    I don’t always participate in the count but I try to upload any good sightings I get in public spaces to the Audubon app. I had a lone dove today. Definitely not an uncommon species but I don’t really recall ever seeing them around in the winter, they usually move to more open spaces.

    I only get the slate-colored type at my location, but they still come in a nice range of greyish brown to black.

    Anyone seen any new birds lately? There was a snowy owl in NYC recently for the first time in many years. Winter storm Orlena is finally here- but I like the snow since it makes the bird stand out a little more against the landscape. In the pic is mostly juncos with a few white crowned sparrows.

    This winter was the first in a while. I started putting mealworms out again hoping they come back.

    Not a great photo but the first bluebirds I’ve seen in quite a while. Looked like two males and a female.

    It could have something to do with the feeders themselves rather than the birds. The three golden rules are: 1) Set the feeders up near cover such as bushes, trees, or woods 2) Offer as many types of foods as you want (suet, mealworms, sunflower seeds, peanuts, corn, fruit, sugar water, etc) 3)...

    Yup! I cheated though, because he was already perched on the suet feeder.

    Did any of it get eaten? So far I haven’t found any birds that will touch chicken pellets or wheat. Nuts of any kind should be a big hit. Walnuts are pretty popular if crushed up enough. Here’s my regular male cardinal and some red squirrels. They’re not birds but I take care of my squirrels...

    Nice! The most popular suet with my birds is this no melt kind from Walmart. I’m glad they like it because it’s extremely cheap especially when bought in the cases rather than individually

    @SoftSilkie nice drawings! I like the barn swallow the most. I have sunflowers sprouting all over the lawn from the birds dropping seeds lol. Next summer I’m going to grow a big patch and let them go crazy with the seeds in the fall.

    For me the only birds that eat the red milo are doves and towhees which generally only come to my feeders in the summer. The white millet is readily eaten by all members of the sparrow family, but not much else. Yesterday was our first snow- all the birds are firmly camped out in the yard now.

    Anyone see any new birds lately? I saw some pine siskins for the first time the other day and they’ve been sticking around. The juncos are back in the yard too - a sure sign of winter.

    Heres a little photo dump of the past few weeks at my feeders: Common grackle migratory flock, red breasted nuthatch, downy woodpecker, hairy woodpecker, countless grey catbirds, house sparrow, and female Eastern towhee :)
