we have a red breasted grosbeak both at home and out at the camper as well! they are an awesome colored bird. now if i could only get some renters in my blue bird house. even spluged and bought some mealworms to help attract them, but them dang robins sure clean that out in a hurry.

I just had the brightest Oriole at the oranges we have ever had at any of our feeders. I also have to do a tick pick tonight....four just mowing the lawn.

Good picture Trent.  Keep them coming.

birds sure where fun to watch this morning before i had to leave for work. had 3 male baltimore orioles, not to mention the hummers and all the rest sure where busy. neighbor must of seen the orioles cause last nite seen here hanging 2 oriole feeders. she's never had them before. oh well i can share. had to put more juice out last nite as well. yellow finches are more numeruos also.

WOW! for the birds out by the camper this weekend. i have never seen that many birds. i have a thislte feeder, 3 sunflower feeders that hold about 12 lbs of seeds 3 hummer  1 oriole feeder and a 4 cup grape jelly feeder and all where empty. filled them and wholy cow. ssen 4 male and 2 female red breasted grosbeaks on the feeder at the same time. the yellow finches are thick, not to mention the orioles. great to watch!

Try growing your own next year.

Since I'm all too familiar with how sneaky you are glenn57, you probly forwarded all those feathered little bugger's directly to my place! Seriously, I have noticed a big increase in consumption this winter! It seem's like I have just filled them and I turn around and they are empty again. We also don't have a whole lot of snow up here. They are also going through the suet at double the rate that they normally do! The rotten, little beaver's are eating me out of house and home! If this keep's up I might have to go out and find a part-time union job so I can have $100.00 bill's hanging out of every pocket like somebody else I know but whose name I will be nice enough not to mention! :laughing6:DIRTBALL2

well, got the hummingbird feeders out and filled along with the grape jelly and oriole feeders!!

the barn swallows are back picking on the sparrows!!!!!!!!!!

last nite i had an awesome experience. working on reseeding my lawn was working near one of the sunflower feeders, all of a sudden i turn around and 2 morning doves are walking towards me. so i keep pluggin away with the grass seed and garden weasel and they get within 4-5 feet of me not the least bit scared or alarmed of me even as i am working that garden weasel up good. i finally finished and walked away carefully not to spook them. that was cool to watch!!!

We have 2 doves in the neighborhood.  Gotta watch for them.
