Window Feeder Help
(I’m new here and not sure where this should go) but I live in Southeast Missouri and recently bought a window feeder. I live in a split level home and all of our main living windows are very high up! I want to hang it on a window close to my couch so my kids and I can watch quietly. Do you all... -
Window shopping
Five juvenile Blue Tits, can't remember for sure, but think this may be a bit of a record for my window feeders. This lot making use of all but the coconut shell, though that is popular usually as well. Within a week of this they'd all disappeared, probably out into the countryside. Middle end...- delia todd

Frazzled Dad
Ok I'm guessing it's dad, no woman would appear in public in such a mess!!! However, he seems to have managed to rear about 5 youngsters, as they all arrived at the same time. I was actually beginning to despair of seeing any as the weather had been so cold and wet it seemed the majority of...- delia todd

Gotcha
Some of you will know the difficulties I have trying to get pictures of a Great Tit at the window feeders. They're usually in and out so quickly but this one seemed to really savour the half coconut filled with fat and seeds. TTTW- delia todd

What's happening in there?
A Blue Tit at my window feeder seems to be wondering what I'm doing LOL. Thought the expression suited the Saturday Fun theme. I hope everyone had a great time yesterday, I had a couple of Zoom meetings with distant family members, so it was great seeing my great nephew and niece (she was born...- delia todd

On the ledge
Since I installed a pole feeder in the garden, the birds don't come to my window feeder quite so much sadly. But here's a Coal Tit for you sitting on top of it.- delia todd

This was the very first time I'd seen an adult bring a youngster to the window feeder... and not just one but there were 3 of them!- delia todd

Difficult
So sorry about the mess on the window, but it's all the fault of the birds of course! I had a rare visit from a Great Tit, but when I saw what a mess the window was in, I nearly deleted it. However, I saw something odd and looking more closely realised he has a very deformed bill. This must...- delia todd

A winter visitor
I thought it was time to start adding some of my own visitors, now that I'm into the last leg of my Australian trip. Great Tits are rare visitors to my window feeder and this guy was around for a few weeks.... a smash and grab artist of the highest order. Only occasionally was I ready and he...- delia todd

Couldn't believe a Coal Tit would actually chase a Blue Tit off a feeder, but that is what happened. TTTW- delia todd

A window on the world
.... and no I wasn't drunk when I took this, it's just I have to take it at an angle! Well I got to a very cold Loch of the Lowes yesterday, and discovered that the male Osprey had returned (rather early for him). I'd been watching the webcam, but hadn't seen him there and the blog hadn't been...- delia todd

Never seen a Robin sit on there before, but sit he did for a few minutes. Not like recently though.... been playing very hard to get, in/out just like the tits... the number of empty images I've taken trying to get him LOL.

Giving me the run-around
This Great Tit first appeared a couple of weeks before, but he was so fast in and out I had no chance of a picture. This was the first I got. It was weeks before I got another one of him! TTTW- delia todd

Strettttccchhh
Jumped ahead to show you this one, think I'd run out of suitable Norwegian ones LOL. (though there's still time for a surprise maybe). This from my first folder after I got home. The House Sparrows don't come to the window feeder so often as the tits, but that fat feeder has been quite a...- delia todd

Please don't take my picture
This wee Blue Tit was trying his/her best to hide from me.... not surprised really, s/he's not looking his best, is /she. Poor thing, suppose s/he's been busy with nesting duties! TTTdW- delia todd

What a mess
Blue Tit or window pane? Well take your pick. Seems the Starlings had been fighting again, but goodness, that tit really needs a good wash and brush up, doesn't he!!! TTTW- delia todd

Feed me.... feed me!!!!
After the Starlings, young Blue Tits were the next youngsters out of the nest that I saw.... and seemed to be brought straight away to the window feeders. This is the first I managed to get a picture of. TTTW- delia todd

Who me?!!
See that window!!! That's what I was faced with when I came back after a few days away! I'd discovered small jars of peanut butter with a plastic holder and thought it would be a good idea to hang it at the window. The Starlings are such messy eaters the window was just spattered with bits! TTTW- delia todd

Twins? Or Mirror image?
.... nooo, don't think they can be, but they look a bit like frazzled parents to me, especially the one on the right! Sorry about the bits on the window, birds can be quite messy eaters at times. It's a very rare occurrence for me to have two of them in there together, unless it's an adult...- delia todd

Sometimes just enough on view...
.... for a certain ID. This Coal Tit just refused to turn round for a proper photograph, but did raise his head enough to show a glimpse the white nape patch and enough of a head turn to see his eye too. I'd been struggling to catch a picture of this one with just a few successes since the...- delia todd

Concealed!
This wee Coal Tit was making constant visits to my window feeder, but always grab and run..... day after day I missed getting him. Then he stopped for a longer feed, but partially hidden by the upright, and in fact mostly wholly obscured by it. So of around 20 shots, this was the only one that...- delia todd
