    Today at the feeder

    The Red Breasted Grosbeaks have been coming to my feeders frequently as well. I have also been getting some Eastern Towhees. While not at a feeder I have also gotten a Pileated Woodpecker and a Red Headed Woodpecker. (sorry no clear pics of the red head)

    Eastern towee

    I got this one by pure luck. Have only seen him once in the 7 months I have been in this house. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jassen/2187908388/" title="Eastern Towhee by jmwests, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2351/2187908388_b5a9228d53.jpg" width="500" height="382"...

    Red Tailed Hawk swooped into my platform feeder &

    Grackles empty my feeders in about an hour and are just pests, I would love to see a hawk take one or two down at my feeders. I've had hawks fly into the trees near the feeders but they don't come down for a snack. There are plenty of bushes for the smaller birds to hide in and be safe it's just...

    Taking down the feeders...

    Well, my bear came back but this time at night. I didn't see it come into the yard but I heard when one of my feeders came crashing down. I knew instantly what it was. I pointed the flashlight out into the yard and sure enough there he was trying to bite into the feeder. I quickly flipped the...

    Taking down the feeders...

    I have a feeling the bears in my area won't go away. Ten minutes down the road from me is a 25,000 acre reservoir, not to mention all the wilderness that surrounds it. In 1938 4 towns were discontinued and 2,500 people were relocated to build it. I know there are deer, moose, bears, coyote, and...

    Argument with hubby due to mice problem

    If watching birds makes you happy that is all he should be concerned with. If mice get in the house use mouse traps. They will come in if you are feeding birds or not, its warmer in a house. The coyotes in the area were there long before you started feeding birds. Also I have yet to see a rabid...

    Taking down the feeders...

    Sorry, I had taken down the original pictures to try and fix how bad they looked. This is the best I could do after having so many blown highlights.

    Taking down the feeders...

    It really was amazing. I still have a huge footprint in the yard from it. I hope to see it again soon but bears can become problems in my area. I'll take my bear over rats any day too.

    Taking down the feeders...

    Only for a short while. Sitting in the living room next to an eight foot long picture window and I didn't notice this guy come within eight feet of the house to inspect my feeders. My wife called from the kitchen telling me to look outside as this 5 1/2-6 foot tall bear stood up. I know there...

    Nuthatches

    I tried some wireless photography last night. Setup the camera on tripod 4 feet from the feeder, as I was setting up nuthatches and chickadees were flying around me so I decided to sit in the grass about 6 feet from the camera. I was setting off the shutter with a wireless remote and captured...

    Unknown bird in Massachusetts

    I saw this bird in an open grassland/farm area. It was about the size of an American Robin. I thought some kind of finch based on beak shape but I could be totally off. Does anyone know what this is? thanks

    Nuthatches

    Nick, thaw, Thanks for the comments on the picture. I'm not sure I would call myself a photographer yet. I've always enjoyed watching and taking pictures of birds and just recently got my first DSLR camera. The feeders at my house provide an excellent opportunity to practice with the camera...

    Nuthatches

    I've been feeding a mixture of black oil sunflower and safflower seed for about two months and just yesterday had this little guy come for a visit. I did put out a suet feeder with a peanut butter type mixer but only the squirrels have found that. This is the first red breasted nuthatch I've...
