Here's an unexpected find at the bird feeder lately, picking up the droppings on the ground, she seems to love the sunflower seeds. She is coming around all thr time now for the last couple of months and will eat the seeds out of your hand!

She can stretch her neck a long ways, have to keep the feeders up or she would make quick work of the birdseed!

Hi Julie , that looks like a cardinal, the males are red remember. The squirrel at the birdfeeder reminds me of the war my father had with them over the course of 3or 4 summers, he used to get so mad at them at the feeders that he used to trap them and then take them out for a nice long drive somewhere miles away. This one particular squirrell even had a nest in his barn\workshop and when he finally trapped him he got his nice long drive miles into the wilderness, swear to God, it was back the next day MAD AS HELL, and churpping and chattering and telling Dad just what he thought of him. I think Dad lightened up to him abit after that either that or just gave up

Julie,...Yes, it's a cardinal, but the drab (compared to the male) female, when the underfeathers are exposed like that, they have sort of a "camo" effect,..and look greenish,....which is probably a good thing, because when there's a hawk around, it usually zeros in on the bright red males... Your pics are pretty cool too.

Hello and thank you passthebottle;  The FORUM today seems to be showing a lot of humor and fun.  Good relaxation.  I had to tell you that when we are in NY for the summer I put out about eight bird feeders and two squirrel feeders that have a little round table with on an outward triangular board with a vertical spike up through the center.  Out from the table there is a two vertical short sticks and a little bench seat.  After you put a previous years corn cob with the kernels still on it, down on the spike. the squirrels set on the seat and eat the corn. 

I also put out a couple antique glass fly traps with a dead minnow or two and water in the trap and a piece of corncob for a cork.  It keeps the fly population down by a few thousand dead fly's each summer.   RED Matthews

Thanks Passthebottle and Joe, I don't think I've seen a Cardinal around here. 

Ha Ha Rick!

Red, I'd like to see a pic of the squirrels at the table!

A have a couple squirrels too.  Sometimes they will be rolling around the deck fighting like a couple of crazed wrestlers.   And then, I usually only have one....the other moves across town or something  -Julie

-40 !! Julie, here in Cape Town those are figures I can't even wrap my brains around !!

Joe, those Cardinals are really lovely, but if they're feeling the cold like that, tell them to fly out here & I'll save them some space on the Yucca tree !
