Dining room for the Birds.

Now these pics here were taken in a higher definition then the last pics on the previous page. Still learning the ins and outs of this camera. Plus trying some different angle shots.



Look up.





Watch out for that wall!



You mean this wall?



Arn't I handsome.



Now if I can only take off?

I like the mohawk bird.
I'm interested in whether the camera makes a shutter sound which might scare the birds off, I'm guessing it doesn't since they don't seem frightened.

There's no noise at all. Only thing I did was to tape over a light that blinks each time the camera snaps a shot.

Awesome shots, as always.

The above video is my attack cat in action. I mention "He" but in fact it's the same female that gave birth to two litters of squirrels last year, one in the spring and one in the Fall. About this time of the year she goes on a feeding spree. Plus she starts adding more old leaves to her nest which is in the Oak tree about 10 feet from this feeder.
Fun watching the new born squirrels with all their antics once they start leaving the nest for the first time.



Not camera shy at all.



Sometimes she gets a little over zealous in her eating habits, like trying to chew the plastic to enlarge the hole, that's when the window goes up and I'll shew her away.
In fact she ate so much and kept the birds away that I removed the rope that you can see to let the birds start feeding again. Nope, did not help, she just got on the roof, went to edge of the drain which over hangs the feeder, and swings over the feeder and at the right time just drops down about 5 feet. Then when she leaves she just jumps off feeder which is about 9 to 10 off ground. Well, that's when I put the rope back up. Don't need pregnant Mom doing all that jumping lol.



The Goldfinches are now coming to the feeder and starting to put one their brilliant Yellow plumage. Still too early for the peak colors, I'll try to get some pics as they start changing. It's the males that really have the more brilliant Yellow.

That is one smart and brave squirrel.
