calling all wild bird feeders!!

[duluthralphie]

I was wondering if there were any other birdwatchers on here! I thought I would have to start a thread

May I join you guys?

We would love to have you join us!!


This is a Minnesota Winter Hummingbird: Notice the innocent smile, the sweet song it sings and the beating wings..








I just love this.... I am freezing from snow plowing and seeing the stupid turkey jump into that feeder makes my day..

Cool!
I have a sunflower seed feeder out my big bay window. Lately I've been seein sparrows, white and red breasted nuthatches, tufted titmice, a couple purple finches, a cardinal pair, black capped chickadees, occasionally a red-bellied woodpecker, and a billion juncos

Sometimes wild turkeys run across my backyard too

That stupid turkey is one of mine. She has figured instead of cleaning up the waste seeds under the feeders, this one figured out, one little jump and she gets fresh seeds..

And it drives my wife bonkers when she is up there eating, so that is a bonus!

Heel low:

Turning out to be a traditional winter here...

Keep the feeders topped and the suet on the go ​

Had a visitation by two lovely wilds...

​

They blend in so well.

​

Had more visit last year but no matter, always nice to see them!

It has been a while since we posted on this thread, however, in the middle of this snow storm I have had nothing to do but sit at the window and drink tea.

This guy and his mate showed up. I tried to get her picture but she was camera shy. She is stunning this time of the year.

Birds are coming in in huge numbers in this storm.

I think I saw a Cassin's finch in amongst our house finches.

The crest is easy to see and the belly is white compared to the stripes on the house finches. Cassin's are not in this area.

Bird pictures from today:
