Feeding Wild Birds

[alinas2010]

And that's a good thing.

I suppose it is, considering the chickens and small dog running around here lol did have these plump visitors yesterday, the corn is supposed to be for the squirrels

The tree swallows have returned. One pair appears to be claiming one of the repaired bluebird houses. Still no sign of the Phoebes.

There's a first time for everything. I witnessed 'turkey sex' in the backyard. That dude sure took his time. He evidently believes the journey is more important than the destination.

And this sight will never be "unseen".

It can include substantial "foreplay".

Way to go, 'Tom'. They were gobbling, strutting, fanning up a storm this morning. Flock was smaller once again - just 5 hens and the two toms. 3 of the hens are wearing transmitters, and both toms are banded.

I talk to them. They watch me fill the feeders so they learn quickly who brings the goodies.

This particular woodpecker was at the feeder when I went out to fill it. It moved 5' away and watched as I added the suet cake. As soon as I moved away, it went right back to eating.

I had a female humming bird drink from the feeder, while I was holding it to put it back up!

The flock will continue to get smaller as the hens hide their nests and abandon the toms.

I had a hummingbird inspect my ear.
