Landing Pattern
Look who’s making an entrance! It’s a House Finch showing off its landing skills on my Bird Buddy.
Cutest
Tweety’s got nothing on this little guy when it comes to being the cutest!
What is it?
I’m not sure what this Grackle is holding in his beak. Is it a twig or maybe a worm?

Happy Couple
This cute pair of Tufted Titmouses have become regular visitors at my Bird Buddy
Blueberry Celebration
We harvested a lot of blueberries at our house. I put a few in the Bird Buddy and this Mockingbird seems to be enjoying the extra treat.
Peanuts?
What happened to the peanuts? 🥜 There were peanuts in this feeder yesterday
Downy Woodpecker
Visiting my Bird Buddy. The suet holder hides him from the BB camera.
Huge 🥜
That 🥜 is almost as large as that Carolina Wren’s head!
Catbird Landing
Great 📸 of this Grey Catbird. Bird Buddy didn’t capture it, I pulled it out of a video.
Greedy Grackle
Gotta admire this Grackle’s hustle! How does he fit it all in his beak? #birdBuddy
Greedy Grackle
My wife thinks grackles look mean. Grackles have a third eyelid or nictitating membrane, that is translucent and whitish or bluish in color. This extra eyelid is hinged on the inner side of the eye and moves horizontally across the cornea. That’s probably what makes them look mean.
Red-breasted Grossbeak
I almost squealed like a little girl when I saw this new visitor on my Bird Buddy. So pretty. I think he’s just passing through on his way north.
How dare you!
This Java Sparrow looks offended by the Northern Cardinal’s presence on his feeder 😁 😂 🤣
Another Newbie
Look who’s here! A beautiful Brown Thrasher jumped from my suet feeder and is now enjoying some tasty treats on my Bird Buddy.
