Just had one land on my tray feeder right after a mourning dove and bluejay left.  It is the first one I have seen this year.  They are around here just not a regular at my feeder like the other birds are.  They 're such a pretty bird.  I need to refill my suet feeders so the woodpeckers will come back; usually have a lot of them daily at the feeders and they are colorful so I enjoy them, too.

Love to watch the birds!  Just bought a new squirrel proof feeder at TCS the other day, too, some safflower seed and 12 cakes of suet for $10.00. 

Let every day be a good day!

I love those birds.......... we have a pair and a young one here......... They come about everyday, early morning and late evening........... and boy do they fight for their sunflower seed...

So glad you got to see him............

It sounds like you got a deal at TSC... I need suet cakes, so I am thinking I will go in and get me some suet when I go to the farm here shortly..........since its only 2 miles from the farm............good idea huh?

I usually buy the box of suet cakes which have 9 or so in a box and then I have them on hand.  I think they are 8 or 9 dollars year round. These were sold loosely and on a special sale.  I like the woodpecker suetcakes the best.

Those grackles are driving me nuts.....I thought they would leave by now.

Let every day be a good day!

Just so folks know the bird we are talking about.  Big Smile

Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak.
