This morning at the old bird feeder. About eight inches of wet sloppy stuff that knocked power for most of the day. Happy weekend to all!
Squirrels are pretty tenacious, and they know where the food is found. This squirrel found a way into a caged feeder. We watched for about twenty minutes as it ate non-stop. I hope it found a way out and had not eaten so much that he wouldn't be able to fit through the opening. :-)
General don't like the bird on feeder shot, but this pose and bokeh is so lovely, share with you. 不太喜歡在Feeder 上的鳥，但這只啄木鳥實在很貪婪也挺可愛，祝大家新年開開心心
A strange bird at the feeder with an attitude.
A major crop, so nothing great. Thanks for looking and happy week.
For the Low Key theme I shot the statue of a chickadee at the feeder at sunset. This frame measures 3 inch in length, for a close up shot on Looking Close on Friday,
I think it's a male Lesser Goldfinch (thanks for the id Risa) who is glad I just refilled the feeder.
… flows through Central Cardiff from the Taff upriver to what were at the time the mighty Bute Docks, to keep the basins from silting in. West Bute Dock was filled in in the early Sixties, while East Bute Dock and the feeder canal have now become part of Tiger Bay’s massive redevelopment.
Watch it properly @ Gallery Minimal!

Had to show some where my red heart is hanging behind my feeder post. Nice when the birds land. Especially the male cardinals.
Caribbean Flamingos, aka American Flamingos (Phoenicopterus ruber) are filter feeders, meaning they strain food from water using their unique beaks. They do this by placing their beak upside down in the water, using their tongue to pump water in and out, and then utilizing comb-like structures on their beak to trap and retain food particles

This beautiful Bluejay came to feed in my garden. Because of its smaller size, I think it's an offspring of a couple that are so much bigger compared to this one. They're always fun to see!

Thank you for taking the time to stop by, your comments or criticism is very much appreciated, take care,stay safe and have a wonderful weekend my flickr friends 😎👋
This picture is just to show you how crazy and beautiful the feeder of Sítio Espinheiro Negro is. A confusion of colours! It's a joy to see.
I've disabled comments because this is not the kind of photo I like to share but I couldn't resist to show you how things are around here on rainy days!

Birdies at my feeder. My girlfriend gave me this feeder for Christmas and dug it out this AM and put some seed in it and the little birdies love it.

A perfect day of 80F/26C and not a cloud in the sky had me out in the canoe for an extended period yesterday, a portion of which had me gazing at eagles who apparently considered it lovely as well. While I can't say I'm a big fan of the feeding habits of these raptors, opportunistic feeders and scavengers who are known to prey on the eggs and young of other species (including my loons), I admit to feeling a distinct sense of awe in just looking at the size of them. They certainly create a presence.
While I often see individuals perched in spots around the lake, it is rare to see them playing as they seemed to be yesterday, alternately swooping and soaring in an acrobatic aerial display. Far above the adults, a youngster viewed the scene from altitude. The first comment photo catches a bit of this, and suggests their size in relation to fully grown shoreline trees. The second comment photo shows an individual just taking its leave upon my approach... probably as close as I've gotten. The lead photo is a more stylized (artsy) image of the departure, chosen as the feature specifically for the composition All obviously have a texture applied to give some interest to the "bluebird" sky.
The display of the eagles (and now the osprey) is one of the few times that I truly wish I had a better camera...but that would mean I would have to learn how to use it...;-) However, with all the mediocre to bad eagle shots I have in my archives, it would be nice to have a series of good ones...for their sake as well as mine.
Frequents suburban settings across North America, along with open woods, brushy field edges, and deserts. Males vary in shades and intensity of red. Some males are yellow or orange. Females are drab gray-brown overall with plain faces and blurry streaks on underparts. Similar to Purple and Cassin's Finch, but House Finch males are more orangey-red with color equally bright on crown, throat, and breast. Red color is mostly restricted to head and upper chest, contrasting with cold gray-brown nape, back, and wings. Pale sides show distinct brown streaks, lacking red tones. Females lack bold face pattern and have more diffuse patterning overall. Often sings loudly in neighborhoods and visits feeders. (eBird)

She was part of a flock of House Finch that were visiting nearby feeders. Although the males are flashier, I thought that she looks happy in the winter sunshine. The males just looked grumpy.

Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday! 🐻🐻🐻
Some children made bird feeders from half apples. A few days later the birds had been very thorough! Sometimes of a morning I feel this way too :)
Poem today, a bite of Robert Frost, After Apple Picking
Of apple-picking: I am overtired
Of the great harvest I myself desired.
There were ten thousand thousand fruit to touch,
Cherish in hand, lift down, and not let fall.
For all
That struck the earth,
No matter if not bruised or spiked with stubble,
Went surely to the cider-apple heap
As of no worth.
I usually put a feeder underneath my porch awning during the winter months for the birds. I was able to capture a chickadee just sitting there maybe trying to decide exactly what seed to take. (Date and time are incorrect) This was taken in Northeastern PA.
I think if it were me, and I saw this evil looking Grackle about to descend on me I would have vacated the premises ASAP! But not this stubborn and brave little Mourning Dove! It held it's ground on top of the seeds and it was the Grackle who gave up and flew away. The Dove went on to send another dove away and a Titmouse and a Chickadee. Doves really are interesting birds. I've seen them make almost every other bird back down and yet, this is how they do it... pure stubborn will. Nothing violent or aggressive. The most they will do is raise a wing and sort of duck back behind it, much like a person saying "talk to the hand". LOL A nice rainy day here just south of the metropolis of Etlan Virginia. Have a great day everyone! In the first comment box below I am including a photo of the dove and the Red Bellied Woodpecker that I shared before and in this shot the dove did not give up either!
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.
