The birds are pretty amazing this winter; we seem to keep getting more all the time. I'm afraid we must be spending nearly as much feeding them, as we are on dog food...that's scary...
I was just heading out for the third time today when I saw this "assortment" cleaning up the remaining seed on one of the ground areas. We probably have more ground feeders than those that use the hanging feeders, although a lot feed in both areas. Above assortment: redpolls, male and female evening grosbeaks and pine grosbeaks.
At the back of the house at one feeder station, one withy nyger and other with oilseed...redpolls and mourning doves.
A male hairy woodpecker flits back and forth from pole to feeders.
This female downy woodpecker was continually chasing the male away...
