    Feeding Times

    What time of the day are your feeders the busiest? I seem to have a busy time around 7am and then again around 6-7pm. I have been trying to time refilling my feeders when most starlings aren’t around my yard to deter them from harassing my smaller birds while they are eating.

    Eastern Bluebirds (Sialia sialis)

    An Eastern Bluebird Mated Pair. They have a nest going about 40 feet away in a nest box I put up. The female seems quite capable of finding the suet and dried mealworms I put out, but is always willing to take a break when the male flies in with a juicy bug.
