On a birdfeeder in Cornwall

Three female pheasants came to visit today and enjoyed the birdfeeder that my squirrels eat from. At one point the snow was coming down in clusters an inch or more in diameter..very pretty.

This bird feeder is a hit with the locals.

I shot this through the window with my macro lens, I didn't have time to change lens. I then cropped it..

Nothing good can come from a kitten in a birdfeeder...…..

This poor little Thrush crashed into my window and fell unconscious in my driveway, I took it indoor and kept it warm, fortunately it recovered a bit after a short rest, I set it free in the birdfeeder and it flew away after a moment.

This young doe didn't appear as enthused by the concept of mutualism that one gets from the tomes of naturalists. She emerged from a grassland area of the Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge near sunset to a swarm of small birds, 6/30/2021.

Struggling to get a good photo today. When I open the window for a clear shot they usually fly away.

its nice to have my birdfeeders up and full of seed with lots of customers!

The most amazing thing about this birdfeeder is that it attracts the rarest of rare birds. No matter how many birding reference books I've checked, I've yet to find this particular visitor listed!

ID needed! LOL!

... for plumy people.

The house finches at our feeders are becoming quite comfortable with me and my camera :)

This was taken several days ago when we were having a cold and snowy day. (from my kitchen door through double pane glass) I was using my new Tamron 150mm-600mm telephoto lens. Enjoying watching the birds come and go as they fed at our bird feeder. I really liked the effect that the falling snow gave to this image. The white vertical strip is the corner of our tool shed. It was the best compo that I could get.

Starlings aren't especially pretty birds but this family has been fun to watch over the last little while. There are 5 babies (all bigger than the mother & father) that squawk like crazy when the parents are with them. All of their (loud) mouths glue shut when the parents fly off to look for more bugs to feed them. The babies can be quite comical running after the parents on the lawn. I didn't get this feeder to attract starlings but they use it more than other birds.

Happy Windmill Wednesday.

Golden Fronted Woodpecker on my feeder. Surprised to see this one take the feeder from a Blue Jay which doesn't back down from many birds. Considered rare in East Texas. Houston, Texas. Jan. 2021

The birds are fighting for food

Not being friendly

You can almost see the wheels turning as this Indigo Bunting is observing me taking photographs. My friend fashioned these birdfeeders herself to keep out the larger birds. She gave the larger birds an open feeder in a separate area.
