    Hello, new to birdwatching in the garden

    I installed a bird feeder in the garden. Surprisingly, I took good pictures with an almost 20-year-old camera, the Panasonic FZ50. A Great Tit and a Sparrow (am I correct?) are my pictures so far. They are cute little creatures, ravenous and very shy. I read they should be nesting now, if I am...

    Finches just stare at the feeder

    Hi! I recently posted another thread about my feeder attracting single species, the great tit (Parus major). Several days ago, I installed two new feeders for finch species, one has Nyjer seeds, the other has sunflower hearts. However, today I noticed that finch species (mostly chaffinch) just...

It now combines my hobby and full time job and as well as designing, making, solving regular puzzles I also like to push the subject into new and weird directions. A puzzle chess set, a real functioning potato puzzle, a...

    Has anyone else experienced eastern gray squirrels that are shy, timid, or otherwise not interested in bird food?

    Hello, folks! This isn't really a thread that I needed to post, but I guess I just kind of felt like posting it. Where we live, we have not experienced eastern gray squirrels being pesky. In fact, I'm starting to miss them after we moved out of a location with loads of them! We still have them...

    Shining Honeycreeper waiting in line for the banana feeder

    This male is one of six that will frequent the feeder multiple times a day. They tend to visit seasonally and disappear outside of that window. While here they are very tame. We’ve only had all six visit at the same time once. That was a good bird feeder day.

    painted bunting, female

    I haven't been able to get out to the bird parks lately, so it's always good when the painted buntings come to you. This photo doesn't really do this pretty bird justice. If you look closely at this species, the females have many of the same colors of the males, but they are more subtle and...
