What's for breakfast?

A black oil sunflower seed, that's what.

And it takes work...

A lot of work...

Twisting

And pausing

Making a hole in the shell - do you see it?

Extracting a bit of sunflower seed!

Yum!

They're back! 

It's time to take these down and clean them for a new year.

The Violet-green Swallows are back!

Can you see it?

And look here!

Pretty pleased to see it.

Amazing design skill set to create an alphabet in the shape of an owl!

I'm hearing lots of birds, but not seeing all that many.

California Scrub Jay

Really nice profile photo.

That bill means business!

Just a few American Goldfinches so far.

I've not seen more than 4-6 at a time.

I am hoping for larger numbers.

The same with the Black-headed Grosbeaks.

So far no more than two birds.

Saturday morning I spied several large skeins of geese flying overhead.

It was pretty cool to get a glimpse of this large migration.

Closer at hand the Turkey Vultures have taken up residence.

They hang out on cool morning until the air temperatures warm up.

And yes...

I continue to see a couple of crows.

So far they aren't hassling the smaller birds. 

They gray squirrels pay no attention to them, so we shall see.
