IBCT: Episode one



Now that I have a better lens I am able to see what looks like expressions and possibly personality of the birds and some of them are hilarious. Please bring a sense of humor.

if I had to imagine what I think the birds are talking about~~~~'~~~~

Frame 1:
Titmouse: Hey can I join you up there?
Cardinal- What? No! Go away!
Frame2:
cardinal goes back to eating, ignoring titmouse
Titmouse: rude bird Biyatch!
titmouse flies over to wild wings platform feeder
Frame 3:
Titmouse-I will just get my grub on at the platform feeder...all to myself. More seeds for me. Enjoy the squirrel leftovers cardi!
Frame 4:
Cardinal-as she watches the titmouse carry a hefty peanut to the shade and security of the neighbor's lime tree:  Resting Cardinal Face: F'king Tits


Photographing the titmouse can be tricky, they fly really fast get the peanut or seed they want and dash back to z tree branch or fence to break the seed or peanut up so the can eat it. It's funny that they usually go for the biggest one they can find.Look at the picture below

The Winter GBBC 2020

This past weekend was the winter great Backyard Bird Count  from Feb 14 through Feb 17. How many of you participated this year? I wanted to attempt to participate but it was also Valentine's day and weekend.  So that meant a busy wedding weekend  for me. I did manage to sit on the back patio and count birds visiting my backyard for 20 minutes in between Weddings and this is what I  came up with. The cowbird count may be a little low because they came and went several at a time. As you can see, there were some brown birds... ok a lot of brown birds and variants thereof...I was not real sure about. I have pictures of them below the list. Here are my notes oh and that is actually 2 mourning doves. I forgot to change the tick marks on that one. All pictures below taken by SL Thomson  These are birds I have a tough time identifying.  possibly a juvenile or female brown-headed cowbird or even a female grackle I want t

So the woodpecker...

Image
A new month. New adventures in the backyard. March has begun. Let's talk about the woodpecker or should I  say woodpeckers? We now have 2 that visit sometimes at the same time. They seem to favor the copper feeder but will also land on the dragonfly tube feeder. They announce their arrival with loud almost bark like sound. Pictures on Twitter @thebitboproject and IG @thebitboproject You can also see them on our LIVE feed at cbsobirdcams.com Is it just me or do the woodpeckers kind of sound like little yapping dogs. They have gotten a little more used to me and I  have been able to step outside of the patio and take a few pictures. I swear it seemed like it was complaining about the food being  low one morning.  Due to budget constraints, some health issues and recently falling,  I only fill the PVC feeders about once week,usually around trash day. It requires dragging out the ladder because of the height. A few days during the week, I  fill the other feeding stations and put

What's in the feeders?

Another Florida birdwatcher asked me on Twitter @thebitboproject what I use in my feeders. I promised her that I would do a blog soon...so here it is. Before we get started, I want to remind my wonderful #bitbo readers, visitors, followers, subscribers and fellow bird lovers that I  appreciate you all. It makes me very happy to share my backyard experiences with you. I am a novice backyard birdwatcher and amateur photographer.  I don't always know the names of the birds, or plants so I will ask for your help, guidance and expertise.  I also try to include photographs and video of  birds, wildlife, plants and flora so you know what I  am trying to convey. As you know, I  have 5 feeding stations. I use slightly different seeds at each one for various reasons. Mainly,  in the beginning, it was trial and error. I put out seed,  watching to see what worked and what failed. Then as I expanded the feeding station areas and added natural sources of nutrition, learned a bit
