Feeding Frenzy

I was very pleased this morning to see some birds feeding at the new globe feeder. There were lots of red-breasted nuthatches flying in and out of the globe. One even tapped on the window while sitting on the ledge outside.

Goldfinches liked it too. They're not so gold when it's not breeding time.

"What is all the fuss about?"

"Oh, what the heck. We're goin' in".

The smaller birds now have a choice about which feeder they want to visit. The big birds (grackles) can't get at the seed in the globe feeder.

A housefinch visits the big feeder. This is the one that spins if too many big birds or squirrels try to feed on it. It's the Droll Yankee Flipper. 

Nuthatches like it, too.
