I wish I could attract them to my feeders again ... seems we have a LOT of Grackles, Red-winged Blackbirds and Cowbirds this year, and some Crows too. All the commotion from those big birds seems to keep some of the smaller ones at bay. Here are a few that visited my yard today.
A big Grackle raiding the suet feeder and a Red-winged Blackbird waiting to get to that same feeder:
A greedy Blue Jay filling his crop with peanuts and a female Brown-headed Cowbird in the tree:
A Mockingbird grabbing a raisin:
Downy Woodpecker came to visit this morning and another this afternoon:
And, a tiny Palm Warbler blending in:
~ I'm an old gal who still loves playing in the dirt!
~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot!
