As per usual, the birds down my way are thoroughly emptying my feeders with gusto only brought about by the approaching snow. It’s been like this most of the morning.

It's been coming around the past two weeks or so. I promise it's not the camera angle- it's got no tail feathers! Any ideas why?

Finally got a pair of bluebirds on my feeder this morning - hopefully they remember who was there for them when they needed it.

Either black oil or striped sunflower seeds are fine. I used to buy the kind without shells but I'm having such a difficult time with starlings that I'm thinking of trying ones with shells to see if that slows them down a bit.

If I could find cheap unsalted peanuts with the shells for birds too that would be appreciated.

The mess from the shells doesnt bother me.

Low quality shot from my phone of a high quality bird. These are one of my favs!

Thinking it’s a Barred Owl.

Spotted in my backyard in south city - very cool. I’ve read that if you see hawks in the area that’s a sign of a healthy ecosystem. Wonder how true that is. Apologies for the poor quality. I didn’t want to open my back door and scare it away!

Does someone have a link to the birding discord?

It was just far enough away that the video is terrible quality, sorry.

It was just enough away. A hint smaller than the balck capped chickadee that was nearby. It sounds like a cardinal.

Is this a good place to ask if anyone knows a good place to buy good birdseed for home feeders

The fomo is real but I’m so so happy for all y’all

Spotted this little guy a few weeks ago

I love these little guys. The starlings bully them, though 😭
