Feeding Wild Birds

[OneMountainAcres]

We have flying sguirrels that like bird feed.

We have a nice sized colony of flying squirrels that frequent our feeders at night. We love watching them and sharing with them.

How cute they are! I haven't seen one here in years.

I have a new batch of blue birds in the house I have to get a photo.

Second setting of Phoebes fledged yesterday.

Figured out why they fledged early. Found one dead fledgling on the porch flat out covered with mites. All the porch furniture is mite infested. I'm out of Permethrin spray, but will get some tomorrow and spray everything. Parents are still trying to feed the dead baby.

These guys are nesting on a ledge near a bathroom at work. Cute little guys

I also have a nest on one of our shudders out from. I'm not quite sure what they are since mom flies away very quickly when we get even remotely close but here are some vague pictures... maybe you guys will know.

Very likely the bird on your shutter is an Eastern Phoebe. They are really neat birds.

This guy was sitting down the road in a dead tree, I tried to get a photo of the bluebird eggs but the mother was sitting on them so I gently closed the house and moved away.
