Becky, great shots of the wide variety of birdie visitors at your place! I love the chubby catbird and your pretty little Warbler does look to be the pine warbler. Thumbs up


I've been hearing the Gray Catbird lately but have yet to spot one. They seem to be in the thick shrubbery or up in the trees, camouflaged by leaves. Birds are still scarce in my yard, I see the occasional Mourning Dove, Woodpecker and Cardinal but not as often as I'd like. The squirrels are ever abundant and although there are lots of them running up and down the trees, they are not emptying the feeders as usual, nor are the raccoons at night! I'm really stumped as to why that is because even though there is lots of natural food about, birds usually visit the feeders daily too and even the suet cakes are mostly intact. I think there may very well be cats around that are keeping the birds at bay ... or possibly snakes. At least two or three times daily I've been hearing the chattering distress calls that the squirrels make when there are cats or snakes in the area. I'm hoping the bird activity will pick up at my feeders as the weather continues to get a little cooler and migrants from the north arrive.
