There has been plenty of fast flying, feeding activities, and even birds harmless fighting around the feeder lately by many birds. There must have been 8 to 10 at the same time between the various feeders and at times over 20 birds. Although there are plenty of food and space, a little food competition is happening. Today, there are a bunch below the feeder getting along while more are feeding above. I believe I saw House Finch, Goldfinch, Pine Siskin, Downy Woodpecker, Norther Flicker, Song Sparrow, Nuthatch, Chickadee, Junco, and more..... even the squirrels were cleaning up below.
Watching BIRDS gives me joy. They do some funny things interacting with each other. I also enjoy taking care of their needs if I can help in anyway. Every time I am outside near the bird feeder, I have noticed that some birds still come by to feed. They have started to get used to me and they come especially when I am refilling the feeders. I started to attempt if they would eat from my hand and on my fourth attempt, it happened. I got my first bird and it was a chickadee that ate from the hand. In the next 20 minutes or so, I had multiple birds come close and at least 6 or 7 more actually landed or ate from the hand. I felt such joy. I am hoping that as I do this on a regular basis, the other birds besides chickadees will also eat from the hand. I had many close success while I didn't have the camera with me recently. I hope as the spring comes and even more birds return, I can train more to trust me.
Having lots of fun and learning about birds late in my life is still a joy. Everyday it seems I encounter a new bird. This is just awesome. Thanks for watching, commenting, and sharing knowledge. I appreciate it.
Thanks for watching ☺🤩
