Two bluebirds, one Chickadee, and one Cowbird. Sounds like a Christmas carol. By the way, the Cowbird was foiled from getting into the feeder.

Birds use their beaks to spread oil from a special gland near their tail over their feathers, creating a water-repellent layer that causes water to bead up and roll off.

Mr. and Mrs., notice the color differences. She has protective coloration helping her to blend in which is needed during nesting season.

A Downy Woodpecker has decided to roost in one of my nest boxes. This clip was taken just as he was preparing to leave the box in the morning.

Please think about the wisdom in this message.

Did you know that When a female squirrel finds a baby squirrel, she gives it food and makes sure that it is an orphan and has no mother or father.

After 3 days of research and making sure she doesn't have a family, she takes it with care, feeds it and familiarizes him with living with her and her children as if he were one of her children.

The female squirrel is unique in welcoming her husband when he returns with food, with kisses and caresses, to alleviate the fatigue of bringing food to her and her young.

The male squirrel always expresses his love for his female by giving her the most beautiful roses and the largest walnuts and almonds...
Mother Squirrel and Father Squirrel form a wonderful family, because the future of humanity depends on their activity: Half the seeds they store turn into new shrubs in the forest. 🐿️

Let's learn a little bit of animal wisdom...

So true. Feeding these birds will prevent song birds from safely eating in your yard.

These birds are sometimes viewed as "bullies" due to their aggressive nature, especially at feeders.

Even Chickadees love to stop by.

It's that time of the year again when we need to think about keeping your birdbath's clean and ready for winter by adding a heater. The heater keeps the temperature just warm enough to keep the water from freezing. They are thermostatically controlled so the element turns off when the water temperature is right. The birds and small critters will thank you!
