    Later in day after the HTC RE's battery gives up (about two hours) sometimes these bird would come up that would grab a seed between their talons and peck at it. I just got silhouettes so I wasn't able to ID. Today I did. It's my black-capped chickadees!

    I have been hearing these guys for a while before they actually made an appearance. At first I thought it was a pigeon, they even walk with that same head-bop syncopation. But Merlin says it is a mourning dove and the wing plumage doesn't match the pigeons around here. These guys also just...

    I suspect this is a Northern Cardinal female. The plumage is much less colorful and while the other two go right up on the tray and push others around, this one usually stays on the deck and goes through the knockoff. This one will bully other birds scrounging through the knockoff.

    I have at least three Cardinals who visit, this is the one who shows first, bullies everyone else off the tray and eats up the sunflower seeds.
