A perfect capture of some Cardinal courtship feeding on the fence! My wife, the resident “old school” film expert, stepped behind the digital lens to grab this. It’s great having a shared hobby—even if her shots are giving mine a run for their money!
This little Carolina Wren found the ultimate snack, a mealworm! Love watching these busy birds. 🐦✨
I love seeing the different strategies at the tray. While the Northern Cardinals go for the heavy seeds and nut pieces, the Carolina Wrens are on a mission for the dried mealworms. It’s a peaceful, multi-species interaction—though the Wrens definitely win the award for the best “Bird Butty” poses.
Today a juvenile Northern Cardinal was exploring my feeder. You can identify a fledgling by noting its “patchy” feathers and the fact that I saw its father feeding it just yesterday. The young bird was caught on camera investigating the Cardinal Confetti mix from Wild Birds Unlimited, likely attracted to the large nut pieces and seeds as it transitions toward independence.
What a lovely visitor on the fence! Female Northern Cardinals are just as stunning as the males with their beautiful crests and bright beaks. So glad I caught this moment!
Looked out the window this morning and saw an entire family of Carolina Wrens on my tray feeder.
Such a sweet moment caught in my backyard! A beautiful male Northern Cardinal is sharing a meal with his partner. Nature’s love story in action! 💕
🔊Sound up. There’s a hungry fledgling demanding to be fed this morning.
My bird bath is getting more use as Spring turns into Summer, but the Bird Buddy 📷 doesn’t always detect the visitors.
Caught this handsome male Eastern Towhee doing his signature “double-scratch” dance in the leaves 🍂 today. Those rufous sides really pop against the backyard mulch! 🐦
Look at this adorable Carolina Wren enjoying some tasty mealworms from my tray feeder! It’s such a joy to watch these little visitors.
Soaking up the simple beauty of this wild iris today. Nature always knows how to add a pop of color to the day! 💜
Look at this adorable little juvenile Eastern Bluebird I spotted today! It’s so neat to see their speckled feathers before they get their vibrant adult blue. What a treat! 🐦
This mama Bluebird and a juvenile were waiting for Papa to come back from the feeder with some food. Probably hoping for some mealworms from my tray feeder. (I couldn’t get a photo of him.)
This clever guy is enjoying the Cardinal Confetti from Wild Birds Unlimited. (Unpaid endorsement)
This little guy was singing his tiny heart out this morning! What a cheerful way to start the day. 🐦
