RE: A busy bird morning

in Feathered Friends8 months ago

I love your clip.

I noticed the woodpecker as he hung on the pole, before getting over to the feeder.

We didn't get a hint of a snow this year, well, I mean if we did, it was at night, was gone as soon as it hit, so nothing to show. Although we don't get lots of snow, we usually get to or three that cover the ground, but not this time. We did have frost warning last night.

Sort:  

I have 4 different kinds of woodpeckers who are constantly at the feeder, but getting them all into one video would be a trick!

It was a very odd winter here, too. We only had 2weeks where it actually felt like winter weather.

Ours waffled, a few days of really cold or a week, but then a little milder for a while, sometimes going from one to the other inside of the same week. It was 80 degrees here 3 days ago and yet the frost warning last night and morning temps were in the 30s! Brrr....

I used to feed the birds a lot, but have not for a while as the squirrels are so bad once they find it and stay on there till everything is gone and needless to say the birds won't come while the squirrels are wrapped around the feeders. Ugh.....

I use hot pepper seed cylinders. The squirrels won't touch it and since birds don't have taste buds they aren't bothered by it!

Interesting, I'm not familiar with that.

I wonder if bird don't have taste buds, why they are said to prefer one seed or nut over another. Sounds like something for me to spend some fun time researching.

I was wrong. My information must have come from the people trying to sell me the hot pepper seed!

ha ha ! That's ok. 💚
