Quote HistoryQuoted: You need a Squirrel Buster feeder. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/157230/IMG_8589_jpeg-3242871.JPG Had one, the squirrels couldnt get in, they would hang upside down and wear their teeth out on the metal leaves but gave up. Then raccoons learned how to open the top and broke one of the springs holding the lid down. But the top on mine did not have screws or anything holding it down, this one looks different. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: That owl is awesome There was a mother and 3 juveniles that visited the same tree every afternoon right by my deck. They would hunt out of it for a few hours, then take off for parts unknown. I could set my watch my them. I was out there one afternoon and the mother owl did not like my presence. I was talking to her in my best Dr. Doolittle voice when one of the kids jumped off of the branch, glided over, and landed on the deck railing right beside me. (Barred owls are known for their curiosity.) I did not have a camera with me then, but I got that pic through my patio door when he returned the next day. This is the mother, taken about 5PM in the middle of July, me standing on my deck.   |

Has anyone used or setup something like a feeder cam? An all weather cam that could send high quality video back to the house right from the feeders would be interesting I think. My 4 yr old daughter got a ball feeder from grandparents last year. She likes watching them through the window.
Ive also found that any old or expired rice or risotto brings quite a good variety of birds. |

I stopped feeding because bears. I live in the woods and do not spray poison every where so the bird population is pretty good. This morning saw a chicken sized woodpecker checking out soon to be dead trees and then a cardinal zoomed in for some bugs.
Country birds don't seem to know what to do with breadcrumbs when I put some out but the hummingbirds still show up after not being fed for 20 years. |

I’m guilty.
I’m not hard corps. But I enjoy ID ing the birds in pur yard, when we take walks, etc… We have some squirrel proof feeders, a heated birdbath (plug it in for winter), and a starling house about fifteen feet up on a pole, that hasn’t seen anyone in a couple years. But when it does, there’s a bunch of them. We have a pair of Eurasian collared doves that have lived in a large pine tree we have on the corner of the house. They’re pretty cool. All the other birds, also. We have a Bluejay nest that’s been used for several years. Robins and Cardinals all over. This one robin follows you when you’re mowing. We’ve had barn owls live in our catalpa tree, and screech owls that we chased out of the pine tree the doves live in. Nothing against the owls, just didn’t want them to be a threat to the doves. Got the kids doing it, too. That makes me happy. |

I noticed these little guys are all over the place at night. They don't hoot like a normal owl hoot, they sound like a tribble from star trek. LoL I don't know what sub species they are but they are very tiny, about the side of my cell phone. Some kinda weido little midget owls. There are 2-3 of them that sit on my bedroom window sill at night and call to each other for a few hours each night.
These things are surprisingly tolerant of me. I can walk up to one and get to maybe 3 feet away from it before it will even turn and look at me. they just don't seem to mind being close to humans.    |

Very cool, definitely jelly of the amount of their gourds and size of their active colony, I've got around 46 nesting pairs between these two poles and some others not pictured, most nests have yielded anywhere from 3-5 chicks that will be leaving the nests within the next week or two at the most. If his site was closer I would definitely drive up for the day but 4 hours is a bit much one way with everything I have going on. Thanks for linking their website, hadn't seen that one amongst the PM websites I visit.

We have seen so many cool birds while duck/goose hunting over the years it is not even funny. Literally birds we see and go WTF was that, off to google and it is a (choose your bird) swimming in the decoys or flying over, next day there is a pile of birders in the area looking for it.
Just some examples, eagles are everywhere here now, we see 4-8 every day September goose hunting, and at least 1-2 per day during regular season. Lake Champlain and the area Eurasian Wigeon... shot King Eider... shot Ruddy Shellduck... shot and a bunch others Seen in the decoys, Razorbill  Ruff this spring, not in the decoys, but hunting area  |

Living on the bank of a huge river in north Idaho is amazing for the sheer variety of birds. Not exhaustive by any means, but...
Ducks, in huge numbers Seagulls, six hours from the ocean Golden and brown eagles and ospreys Hummingbirds Red headed and pileated woodpeckers, which have to be the closest thing to a dinosaur still flying Coots, in rafts by the hundreds Egrets and herons White swans @#$%#$$ Canada Geese, though the goslings are pretty cute for the first two weeks Owls Ravens and...either barn or cliff swallows, that build mud nests under the eves of the condos. Hundreds and hundreds of them doing aerobatics at dusk and dawn, Hard to complain, we have zero mosquitoes or flies. Yea, I don't think I'd get into watching song birds, but I can spend all day watching bald eagles dive bombing the coot rafts. |

I put up some feeders a few weeks ago, a cylinder style, platter style, and hummingbird. I've had cardinals, chickadees, tufted titmouse so far. A few doves have discovered them too and some bluejay. Every so often I'll hear owls calling and there are a fair number of smaller raptors I'll catch in the skies. My grandparents and mom had always been into feeding and watching the birds, I'm just catching it now late 40s... |

My father would sometimes take me and 2 younger brothers there after he got home from work (I was 9 years old at the time.) We would play the electronic bowling game and shuffleboard. Dad and the other men would drink beer and bitch about life. When I got old enough to drink, I never wanted to go there when friends suggested it. No matter what it became, in my mind it shall forever be a place where married men hang out until their wives fall asleep and it's safe to go home.

I am 63 years old, and was basically indifferent regarding birds
I bought a house in Florida that is in a bird sanctuary and the previous owners had a couple of nice birdfeeders and asked if I would continue feeding the birds. I should yes, and it is interesting watching all the interactions between the different birds at my birdfeeder. I have one of those squirrel proof bird feeder's with the tube on a spring, and it does prevent them from getting up to the few birdfeeders, I have mounted above it. I have two open feeders, one with sunflower seeds and the other with peanuts. I have a couple of others with an assortment of seeds. I probably got close to 10 different species of birds at my feeder. I also feed some of the local crows peanuts in the shell. If they see me outside, they start squawking at me until I give them some. |
