Lovely photos !
What’s that mixture you’re feeding ? It looks like sweetfeed-on-a-stick, high calorie food to keep the little birdies warm. Bet the Longears would eat it if they got a chance 🙂
It’s something like sweetfeed-on-a-stick, and you betcha… the boys would eat it in a second, I’m sure.
We put that particular mixture up (along with a specialized house) to entice flickers to our yard. 🙂 Turns out I saw a flicker on that very feeder for the first time on Sunday! 😀

Great photos, Justina!
Our backyard bird feeders are constant sources of entertainment for us…and it looks like your’s are, too!

I was just thinking, yesterday, about bird toes, and about their joints…. Perfect peek at ‘hatch toes!

Fabulous shots! I had to move my feeders and will probably have to build a blind of some sort to get good pictures again.

What exquisite photos!! Thank you for sharing.
Such a refreshing change from my Arsenal tour this am where I had to explain that Prairie Dogs do not prey on Red Tail Hawks.
No, I did not type that backwards.
