Interesting. The Orioles drink out of mine as well but the woodpeckers do as well plus they make it swing and spill it all over the patio then the ants come.

I've been chasing a pretty brown thrasher around the yard the last few days but can't get a picture of it, it's very shy and I'm very clumsy. A few of the 'usual suspects' - first time I've seen the titmous on the suet feeder, and one of the bluejay family enjoying a new seed cake.

Lots of beautiful new photos! Amazing variety of birds, Cindy - it's great to see two different types of woodpecker side by side, it gives a much clearer idea of relative size. (I knew one was smaller, just not how much!)
The titmouse is one of the most charming little birds, and your bluejays are much more colourful than our jays. Thanks for sharing, Elaine!
