Ever since I got my new squirrel-proof feeder, the squirrels leave it alone so my seed lasts such a long time now!
However, I know the squirrels get hungry too so I give them treats of their own, especially apples!
I'll bet these two squirrels have a family to feed...and I'm sure they have a well stocked stash building up for the long winter ahead!
So, the House Finches get their fair share of sunflower seed and Nyger seed, the Flickers and Downys munch on the suet cakes and drop plenty of it on the ground for the squirrels and Mourning Doves. My feeding station is a well-oiled machine now!
I took these at the beginning of July and I'm just now getting around to posting them. This little fledgling showed up with his dad again but he was eating and drinking by himself this time! I believe it's the same one I've been seeing but who knows for sure. My neighbor has a nest in her yard that I can hear has new nestlings in it! I hear them being fed about every half hour so I'll be seeing more fledglings soon! I also had a Robin show up in my yard feeding her youngster on my lawn. I wish I would've had my camera handy! That's about all I have for now!
