Any Bird watchers here?

That is weird. Most of the birds, as either female or juvenile have some sort of stripping/pattern on them.

I think you are right with female cowbird.

My reaction would be the same.

Ms. buZZsaw and I just watched this documentary about hummingbirds on prime video. Very fascinating.

These critters were around on my morning walk



Why did the turkeys cross the road?

 

Do you see them often? Rather common to see around here with all the wooded areas.

 

Now and then. Not rare around here.

 

Turkeys are surprisingly smart and resourceful birds

 

I saw these chainsaw birdhouses on Facebook Marketplace for $45. Pretty good idea and design.

 

Have this molting Cardinal around

 

Almost looks like a vulture! I've seen one like than here. Also have seen blue Jays like that.

I caught myself admiring your shed and stacks! Very nice there!

 

One of these days, I will post about the add ons to the shed and extra coverage I made...

 

Pileated Woodpecker at the suet yesterday morning. Sorry not the best picture. Been a while since I have seen any around here at home. They sure can scold when they are irritated at you!

Very cool! Hard to find those fellows during the day, at least around here.
