I didn’t realize it kept stats. Female cardinal with the most visits at 225. Woodpecker hit it once.

Recent visitors to my seed feeder include White Breasted Nuthatches, Chickadees, Common Finches, Cardinals, Downy Woodpeckers, and Carolina Wrens, who pick up the little bits of sunflower seed kernels left by the finches (they’re messy eaters).

Sounds like my wife’s list

An immature golden eagle was perched on my dogwood. I was trying to get a picture and stepped quietly out of my screened porch, but it flew away before I could bring it into frame. A visitor brought in with the cold front.

I'd love to see that

Was it mouthing off?

No, just peeved at my intrusion.

Mixed mob of robins and redwing blackbirds worming my yard right now.

A pair of red shouldered hawks have nested ~1/2 mile from me as the hawk flies for 3 years now. They’ve successfully raised two broods and clearly plan to try again this year. A pair of red tails flew into the area and the sky was full of hawks calling. The red shoulders don’t want the red tails in this area. When vocalizations didn’t do the trick, the male red shoulder took to diving on the red tails in flight. It was like WWI aerial combat! I haven’t seen or heard the red tails in awhile, but they must be close enough for the red shoulder male to be calling still. Love it! Now, bring me migrating barred owls! I want to hear their caterwauling at night!
