Bird feeder thread

I saw those! We were laughing about them, but thats what they're for huh?

 

Yup but the birds don't feel the heat and gobble up the cakes.

 

Could be a falcon, possibly an osprey.

Any large bodies of water nearby?
Osprey are often found around lakes

 

Definitely not a red tail.

I'd lean towards osprey given the water, but it's hard to tell from the distance shot.

 

We took down our suet feeders last week and put one hummingbird feeder up. Hummer shows up next day even though we hadnt seen any. This male downy woodpecker likes the nectar water.

 

I always thought they should have called it a "Caucus" of crows!

 

Ospreys also have disproportionally long and slender wings compared to eagles or most larger hawks.

 

About a week ago we set out our Oriole feeder with grape jelly in the cups. It only took a few days before the coons found it again. Now we have to take the jelly cups in at night and put them out in the morning.

 

Ms. buZZsaw makes the sugar water. How often would you change it Dennis?

 

Ms. buZZsaw see's a strange bird at the feeder a few years back and calls me over to see. Rose breasted grossbeak. They showed up a few weeks ago.

 

Seen our first hummingbird a couple of days ago. Have the feeder down, now need to run it through the dishwasher. Also need to make some syrup up.

 

Do you know why a hummingbird "hums?


Because it doesnt know the words!
