Usually showing up in groups of 4 or more at a time. Their distinctive calls alert me to their presence in and around the yard, even through the closed windows. The seemingly are indiscriminate about the food of choice and will visit all seed and suet types I have out. It's not all bad however, they are beautiful brightly colored birds and their warning cries alert all the other birds about predators in the area (most recently a red shouldered hawk that visited).</p></div> <div class="field field--name-field-images field--type-image field--label-above"> <div class="field--label">Images</div> <div class="field--items"> <div class="field--item"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/2023-08/DSC_0188.JPG" width="6000" height="4000" alt="" class="img-responsive" /> </div> <div class="field--item"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/2023-08/DSC_0167.JPG" width="6000" height="4000" alt="" class="img-responsive" /> </div> <div class="field--item"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/2023-08/DSC_0160.JPG" width="6000" height="4000" alt="" class="img-responsive" /> </div> <div class="field--item"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/2023-08/DSC_0145.JPG" width="6000" height="4000" alt="" class="img-responsive" /> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-bird-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field--label">Tags</div> <div class="field--items"> <div class="field--item"><a href="/index.php/taxonomy/term/30" hreflang="en">At Feeder</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/index.php/taxonomy/term/37" hreflang="en">Blue Jay</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/index.php/taxonomy/term/31" hreflang="en">Suet</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/index.php/taxonomy/term/38" hreflang="en">Seed</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/index.php/taxonomy/term/39" hreflang="en">Nut and Berry</a></div> </div> </div> Tue, 15 Aug 2023 22:21:06 +0000 bentownsend 8 at http://bentownsend.com
