Feeding the birds…

So I went back to Wild Birds Unlimited and spent some more $$$ in an attempt to de-clutter the photos that I take of birds in the backyard. So far it’s the same birds stopping by, but that’s okay with me.

I have to assume that this is an immature cardinal. Not only because it looks a bit silly, even though it does, but that tuft seems to rule out any other conclusion.

This woodpecker feeder is the only new addition, besides the pole to hang it from. Getting the cylinder of woodpecker seed installed was not easy, but we bought the extra cheap version of the holder. I may have to upgrade it eventually. It took the red bellied woodpecker a day or two to find this one.

This little titmouse likes the cranberry cake, and now there isn’t quite so much competition at this cake.

This female cardinal is our most frequent flier, and I suspect she is the ruler of the roost out there.

The littlest birdie out there made a stop at the biggest feeder. Carolina chickadee.

The red bellied woodpecker has been back to this feeder again, so I guess it’s a hit.

The little downey woodpecker discovered this feeder first of all, but I haven’t seen him as often now that the red bellied woodpecker comes around.

How nice of him to pose for me. As I’m writing this he is on the backside of the feeder and all I can see is his tail.

I took these pictures over the last couple of days and I’ve lost track of whether or not it was early, before the sun comes up enough to be in my eyes, or later on when it’s heading to sunset. It has gotten a lot cooler as it heads to sunset and we’ve been known to sit out on the lanai and just enjoy watching them. While we enjoy a beer or a glass of wine also…

Your immature cardinal is kind of orange and a bit skinny! Looks like your feeders were a great investment❤️

I wonder is it’s a fledgling from the nest, and if there’s more than one of them???
