Who's at the feeder?







Ugh....we are still in love bug season.... but the birds are trying to make the best of it.

Here are some of the current birds that come early to the feeders. Enjoy!

The Cardinals 🐦are usually the first birds at the feeder starting around 730ish
Since we live in East Orlando we sometimes have to battle the rising sun. But hopefully once we can afford better cameras we will be able to capture clearer video and images.


Following the cardinals are usually the smaller birds like sparrows and titmice along with the much larger, ever watchful mourning doves. The mockingbird was out this morning but he was hanging out on the yard light sunning his wings, not at the feeders.


Even when there is plenty of food sometimes the smaller birds don't want to share.




Cardinal and titmouse having brunch around 11ish. I purchased a birdhouse cover for the Arlo camera. Some days I kind of regret the decision to purchase it because the birds like to land on it and then it shakes and sometimes slides out of position. Recently a few birds have pecked the lens possibly because they saw their reflection or maybe they were checking to see if they could enter the "birdhouse"

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?

Image
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
