The upside down feeder has been such a hit with the American Goldfinch that I decided to buy a second one. I had so many more Goldies in the yard today it was really amazing. Here are the 2 feeders hanging up together from the same double shepheards hook. I scared a number of them away trying to get a shot.
Beautiful finch and mockingbird. I have only seen the one mockingbird here...wonder where they are?
That feeder is on my must have list...now to figure out the how...hmmmm
I don't know; Mockingbirds were scarce for me too this year.
dang, gotta get me one of those upside downs!!! My plastic one is torn up from Mr. squirrel and they don't like my other one.
That site is great. My favorite has got to be the Laughing Kookaburra.
Pelle, what beautiful shots of the Goldfinch and the Mockingbird. How often do you have to replenish the feeders?
gp, here's a shot of a Laughing Kookaburra from two days ago. I'd gone to the river to check out one of the trees where a particular Osprey hangs out and there were two of them having a chuckle. The juveniles make the most maniacal sound you'd ever here.

Hi Margaret, Every 2 days for some,longer for others.
In winter it will be alot more often.
Hungry little blighters, aren't they?
This is a shot from around the same area I took the shots of the Kookaburra. You'll probably know by now that this is a Red Wattlebird. It was throwing its head back about to give one of its raucous calls.
Nice one Margaret!
Wow you've all been busy . I had a few problems with my PC connection. Tried to post and would lose everything. Only a few time it went through. Great postings!!!
A bunch of Goldfinches in a eating frenzy
Black-Capped Chickadees were fascinated with this basket of sedum. Don't know what they were eating in there.
Here's another one.
Well did my morning walk and saw this warbler... Tenneessee?
Dumb question...is this the same bird??
judging by the yellow bill ... White Crowned Sparrow? ... Guess I should have put the pic in that last one, huh?
just a bunch of the little brown guy's in my yard this morning!
Good to have you back Resin!
Great pics of him on the sedum burn!
Thanks...not a good sign, but somedays It's like I get a little glitch in my brain...I know I know it but I can't get it... sooo from time to time...
Anyway, how about a male Cardinal
Thanks for the Kookaburra pic, Margaret. They not only sound comical, they look comical. What a terrific selection of birds you get there. I got some shots this morning, nothing spectacular. Grackle first.
Red-Bellied Woodpecker.

Nice series GP and wonderful Cardinal Nanny. Thanks Pelle.

the Song Sparrow are making a stop over to refuel for their journey south.
I love that RBW silhouette GP!
I was so happy that I had Song Sparrows all summer!
Nice ones GP and burn!
a few from monday I think...
a NOID, warbler probably
Female Cardinal was catching bugs!
Gray Catbird...I hate to say it their "mewing" is starting to get on my nerves a little! lol
This male Cardinal tried his best to hide from me!!
Love the Catbird nanny!
Gold Finch was to busy eating to see me...at first!
Thanks!
Wonderful birds Nanny, gp and burn. I had a great day at the swamp yesterday but haven't finished sorting through them yet. Here's a couple of Rainbow Lorikeets that have taken up residence in a nesting hollow they've nicked from some other less aggressive parrot.
Nice pic, Margaret. I have been seeing a lot of Grackles with missing tail feathers. Maybe it's molting time?
