Bigbird

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!

Cool! Looks like a young female turkey.. is she alone?

 

[passthebottle]

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

 

[passthebottle]

Yep, all alone, seldom seen this far north in Maine , close to the Canadian border

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 barnworkshop 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[][]
