All the suet feeders were filled, BOSS and safflower in the hopper feeders,thistle in the tube feeder, and the Woodpecker Seed Cakes were very popular today... cooper's hawk pileated woodpeckers (2) first time we saw them this year!! Yay! red-bellied woodpeckers hairy woodpecker downy woodpecker northern flickers northern cardinals blue jays brown creepers tufted titmice white breasted nuthatches carolina wrens carolina chickadees white throated sparrows house sparrows towhees starlings (today was the first day we had them at our feeders (not a good thing for us!) goldfinch housefinch mourning doves assorted sparrow type birds that I can't identify crow (or some kind of large blackbird was a 'flyover') We are very excited that we saw a pair of Pileateds today--they didnt' come to our feeders, though--we thought they had perished, but I guess they just found a better source of nutrition... This red feeder from Lowes for about $26.00 is very popular and easy to care for...(we have a squirrel baffle on it.) The woodpeckers like the suet on the sides... Pardon the poor picture taking--I am trying to learn and am very frustrated with my progress! |
