CarolDM @CarolDM (203396) • Nashville, Tennessee 18 Nov 20

We got back from Portland Friday afternoon. I glanced out the window and saw this little Downy Woodpecker on my suet feeder, not where the food is, but clinging to the side. They do this sometimes for unknown reasons. But this...

James Higgins @JamesHxstatic (29410) • Eugene, Oregon 15 Dec 16

After we got back from Anne's doc appointment, I was in the back yard refilling my bird feeders. It occurs to me that I may not be able to type the name of the little flock of birds eating suet in the photo. I will say they are...

Three Downy Woodpeckers came by

James Higgins @JamesHxstatic (29410) • Eugene, Oregon 25 Jul 16

I had my suet out on a tail prop feeder. Woodpeckers and Flickers like to sit with their tails propped against it like they do in trees. A pair of male and female woodpeckers had been alternating, coming by morning and evening. I...

Alice Henry @IreneVincent (15960) • United States 23 May 16

I purchased some suet this winter and put it out in a little “cage” on my hummingbird feeder rack this winter and the birds loved it. They gobbled it up very fast. I was so excited, seeing all the different types of birds that...

How are you spending Super Bowl Sunday?

James Higgins @JamesHxstatic (29410) • Eugene, Oregon 7 Feb 16

I know that people in many countries write here and in some places football is what we call soccer in the US. They won't watch or care about the Super Bowl. It is a big deal in the US though. Are you going to watch the game? Not...

A beautiful bird with a weird name

dragon54u @dragon54u (31633) • United States 11 Jan 10

Here is a picture of my hairy woodpecker! I have no idea why they call it that, he has feathers instead of hair. But he's a very pretty bird and visits the suet feeder every day. That makes 2 kinds of woodpeckers I've identified...

Just in the past couple of weeks when the weather has warmed a little, I have a woodpecker for my suet. All winter, the woodpeckers have stayed away--last year I had them all winter and while they enjoyed the suet, I enjoyed...

I had too much oatmeal bread for my husband and I to eat all of it, so I made that into stuffing yesterday. Also had raisin cinnamon scones that came out too dry, so made bread pudding out of them. Thursday is my day, usually...

It's THE CROWS!!! I'd forgotten, after nearly thirty years away from my home (Ohio) how the crows congregate in December. Funny how they're not in my neighborhood, 3/4 mile away from the center of the city. Anyway, in the...
