#feeders

I had to take the bird #feeders down because our New England "summer" of deluges and occasional sun caused mold. They'll be washed again - they do get washed twice a week - then treated with dilute bleach and kept down a few days to avoid a gathering place in case they've already caused any illness. However the small #birds of my yard don't accept the "it's for your own good" logic of this and are giving me so much feathery guilt…

One reason I feed year round is because I love to watch them bring their to the . Here's a male feeding his baby boy on a tree next to the feeder. And a female feeding her baby boy, and then a picture of the baby having a go at the feeder himself. And finally, a female who brought her boy and girl to the feeder and fed them on the deck railing.

Male red bellied woodpecker (top) with his red-orange head and checkerboard wings, feeding his fledgling some suet that he got from the feeder which is located next to the tree..
Female downy woodpecker (top), with her black and white feathers, feeding her baby boy some suet she got from the feeder next to the tree.
This is the same baby boy downy woodpecker, perched on the suet nugget feeder and trying to get it to feed him. I don't think he got anything to eat, but he'll figure it out soon enough.
In the middle is a female adult pileated woodpecker. On her right is her baby girl and on her left, her baby boy. In the background is the suet nugget feeder. She filled her beak with suet and fed each of them on the deck railing.

I have a #Bluejay that lives near my house. I have named him #Biff because he is a bully.

He likes to land on a branch, just east of my yard, then imitate the call of a #hawk, so all the #birds at my #feeders take cover. Then he flies in and takes what he wants...

or at least he tries. Most of my seed feeders are anti-#squirrel, and Biff is heavy enough to activate them. When he finds that he can't get the seeds, he throws a tantrum, then leaves.

He always comes back though.
