Ornithology (Bird) Thread
Re: Ornithology (Bird) Thread
Glad to see your buddy back, BH!
The end of each day, usually brings 5 or 6 Doves just before sundown. Here is a pic of 3 of them. They are then followed by 15-20 Cardinals, and a few W T Sparrows that arrive when the sun begins to dip below the horizon. The last visitors each day, are also the first the following morning, arriving before sunup.

Ike I am stunned when you speak of 15 to 20 Cardinals. I am pleased when I see 2 to 4.

As am I. I've only seen a male and female pair. I know they're pretty territorial, keeping other couples away.Quick Steel wrote: ↑Wed Jan 12, 2022 11:28 pm Ike I am stunned when you speak of 15 to 20 Cardinals. I am pleased when I see 2 to 4.

Re: Ornithology (Bird) Thread
Sarge, cardinals don't seem to be all that territorial around here except at nesting times. They have little squabbles around my feeders but mostly they tolerate each other, it's kinda funny the males fuss with the females more than males against males. I'm surprised that you guys don't have more I wouldn't be afraid to bet that I've got 20 to 30 that come daily and probably that many jays, they do favor black oil sunflower seed.

Re: Ornithology (Bird) Thread
As I was leaving the house this morning, 4 Cardinals and a towhee was setting in the little Japanese maple waiting for the birdbath to clear.
Re: Ornithology (Bird) Thread
Good one!
I surprised some Turkeys this morning, they surprised me by allowing a couple of pics before they moved on.

Re: Ornithology (Bird) Thread
Well shot bird assemblies bighomer and Ike.
Re: Ornithology (Bird) Thread
The dang turkeys have abandoned me ain't seen one around my place in a couple of months. They've done this before I think they change their routine from time to time.had a flicker on the suet a few minutes ago but he flew before I could fetch my phone.
Re: Ornithology (Bird) Thread
Nice shots Homer, Ike, beautiful, you guys are nailing it.
Not as good of a shot but this little Nuthatch was watching me fill the feeder and waiting his turn. Sometimes they zoom in and sit about arms length away from me. They are not scared of me or the other bigger birds at all.

Re: Ornithology (Bird) Thread
Finally have some snow cover, the dang sparrows are still hogging the feeder. Did see a pair of juncos slip in for a snack. Spied a nuthatch in the nearby tree so hoping for more.

Nuthatches and downys will come to the suet feeders while I'm trying to fill them, sometimes a hairy will, but the redbellies will land higher on the pole and fuss at me till I get through and leave.

Great show everyone!

Bingo Homer, love the downys too. They don't come to the feeder for me, but the nuthatch will. If I miss a day and let the feeders get empty, I can stand by the feeder and put some in my hand and the impatient nuthatch will land on my fingers and take seed from my hand. Mean talons on them too. Cool birds.
