Bluebirds galore

4 at once on my 8" wide feeder! Even the White-breasted nuthatchs stood in line. Also had a couple of mockingbirds, first time at the feeder.

We have had many many bluebirds on our tiny feeder as well (along with white breasted nuthatches, pine warblers, brown headed nuthatches, downy woodpeckers, tufted titmice, house finches and chickadees (of course), vireo, and for just a second, a red-winged blackbird. The bluebirds are thrilling!

What are you feeding? I'd love to have vireos and warblers

Cole's brand Nutberry Suet blend (made in Kennesaw, sold at Whole Foods). The funniest ingredient: Blueberry flavored Cranberries.
The warblers are really bright right now.

p.s. We saw a Cooper's Hawk and also a Barred Owl recently too--I wonder if we're in the same neighborhood (we're over near the toddler park).

Enjoying your blog!

Hmm sounds tasty - I like blueberries too. Will try some out. You said pine warbler - any others?

Nothing much else besides what I listed. Same groups each day. There are many on the feeder at a time. Jealous of your Kinglet sighting--I've never seen one.
