Even tho I have cut back on the volume of bird seeds provided, I still have interesting birds here. I have seen both female & male HUMMINGBIRDS at their feeder, as well as a DOWNY WOODPECKER mother feeding a baby at the bark butter log. Regular customers are the many A GOLDFINCHES eating nyjer seed. I think the WHITE BREASTED NUTHATCH is feeding a baby both suet & sunflower seeds. CATBIRDS enjoy suet too.
Also saw 2 BLUE JAY babies w/short tails interacting with parent birds in tree outside my porch. BROWN THRASHERS active across road & a small hawk (Sharpie or Coopers) zoomed thru the yard after a bird that it missed catching. Most mornings I hear 1 or 2 OSPREYS chirping down near the water! Lotsa GRACKLES both in yard & on beach. Baby ducks include 6 COMMON MERGS & 4 MALLARDS. & I still hear the 2 WOOD THRUSHES singing in woods along w/ the occasional A. REDSTART!
