I've had the usual suspects at my house in Decatur Heights: Downy woodpeckers, wrens, unidentified warblers, a Ruby-Crowned Kinglet (all at my suet feeder). Heard a Pileated woodpecker yesterday and saw a Great Blue heron flying over on his or her way to the cemetery, I think.
what kind of suet do you use?
More of the same mostly: house finches, brown-headed nuthatches, white breasted nuthatches, downy woodpeckers, red headed woodpeckers, pine warblers, house wrens, chickadees, bluebirds (galore!), etc. Saw my first ever Eastern Towees last week and my first ever Northern Flicker--both in the yard by my feeder. I've yet to see a Kinglet :(
Wondering why there are Robins around (supposed to be my first sign of spring, right?!)
Mindy, aren't the towees beautiful?
Yes--very striking! Saw the male in the butterfly bush and ran to the bird book to identify. Two days later saw the female under the bird feeder. I also was impressed by the Northern Flicker. This is my first year bird watching. . . .
Eastern Phoebe in the back yard today--fun watching it flick its tail up and down.
