Butterscotch got tired of just watching the birds from below, and made a dash for them.
She did not succeed.

Well, ruffle my feathers!
The grosbeaks are back
I had started to see the pine grosbeaks in some of our crab apple and ornamental apple trees. Once I picked up the the new birdseed, we’ve started to see them at the feeder. Especially this lovely couple.
She looks a bit perplexed.
She was also much harder to get pictures of! The male, on the other hand, was more co-operative.

This is the dance of my people
I’m saving that for later
Notice the bulge in this blue jay’s throat.
It had just finished stuffing it full of seeds.
Compare it to the blue jay that landed moments later.
In for a fill up!

Catch!
At least the bluejays will eat some of the tiny seeds, though they prefer the sunflower seeds.

Hang in there!
Just managed to catch a photo of a woodpecker that was hanging upside down, then off the side of the platform feeder.

Bird Feeder – hello in there!
Bird Feeder – another hunter!
Beep Beep has discovered she can climb the bird feeder, too!
At one point, a bird landed on the top of the hanging feeder.
She went for it.
She barely managed to catch herself and get back up on the platform instead of falling to the ground. :-D
