These Sparrows lease this house from the Purple Martins. They will be evicted in a couple months.

My little friend is back. He really sings wonderfully.

Better shot of a new Downy Woodpecker visiting. The Pecker's really like the nut crunch. There has been a beatup looking Pileated dropping in but the Nuthatch's run it off quickly for some reason, strange because it is way larger than them. However, I think I have located it's nest in an old oak tree on the golf course, I had my binoculars handy this time and followed it. I am gonna get a pick of that prehistoric looking bird one of these days if I don't crap my pants when I get the opportunity.

Sorry for the watercolor effect y'all but I am trying different things to get a decent exposure with less than desirable hardware. It is a combination of slight post sharpening, cropping, and shooting on stormy days. I am learning a lot about the whole thing though and very happy in terms of understanding how everything comes together before I hide out in some marsh with my rear end soaked in marsh swill waiting on a coastalconn opportunity.

Red Wing Black Birds at the feeder today.

Nuthatch checking out Downy's butt. This same Nuthatch chased away the Pileated Woodpecker again today. The much smaller one was not bothered by it at all... strange. The Nuthatch are hard to photograph, it's like they are vibrating all the time. Downy's are vibrating too but not as bad as the Nuthatch.

This is the singer of the group in my yard. Finally got him on the feeder. There are three of them up until now, he is the aggressive and least curious one. He just eats once and then patrols, he is keeping the Blue Jays away from the feeder. Very violent and aggressive bird towards the Blue Jay, I think he is a warrior.
