Oh, uh... yes. Your bir... us... uh, your feeder is somehow all empty. Could you refill it? Who are we? Oh, we're racc... no, just your standard, uh, masked albino sparrows. Yes, that's it. Sparrows.

Bees in the bird feeder. They're probably collecting cracked corn dust which isn't great.

The things we do for these birds...!

Weather Channel sez "it feels like 13 degrees!" so I've got to get all bundled up but there's no putting off the feeder refills until later since the Pine Warblers are already stacking up to demand More Food

someone -- i believe it was @Swede1952 said their Carolina Wrens wouldn't take mealworms so

for this #WrensDay before I dashed out to put the mealworms in the feeder i went ahead & posted one of my photos of this activity

Grackle at the feeder. Their migration is right on time, so time to buy more birdfood. #birds #Grackle #BirdFeeder #NotABirder

House sparrows and Juncos with chirps.

Song sparrow. A junco and house sparrow join it.

American goldfinch and perhaps a Dark-eyed Oregon x Pink-sided junco.

nothing squeezes my heart like a lil ole Pine Warbler getting a jump on sitting on the suet feeder before sun up to wait for me to put the suet out -- borb was just a little ball of floofy hope in the darkness...

The latest nestbox timelapse video which now spans 75 days, the dates are 14/03/2024 - 27/05/2024. It will show the progression from building to fledging. #bluetit #nestbox #webcam #timelapse #RaspberryPi #Gatwick #birdfeeder

Turned our leftover mince pies into food balls for the birds. Mashed them with a potato masher then formed them into balls by hand. #birdfood #birdfeeder #leftovers

I'd not put an ear of corn out since mid September. Blue Jays found it within an hour.

This is one of our hummingbird feeders, suspended off our kitchen window. There's another feeder visible in the background, in the yard down below. For whatever reason, this one's the more popular of the two.

It's on the other side of the kitchen counter, so when doing food prep by the compost bucket the feeder is less than 2' (60 cm) away.

What never ceases to amaze us is looking up to see someone sitting there - knowing that s/he flew up, saw you standing there, and landed anyway. We do our best to welcome them and let them know they're safe with us, but still.

An amazing gift, every day. Hummingbirds mostly, but House Finches, Bushtits, Chestnut-backed Chickadees, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Yellow Warbler...
