New Bird Feeder and Visitors

Since I havent been using this bird bath I figured I would change it up and make it a feeder...Nice and easy to refill as well.

Shortly after the refil I found some visitors!

Other than the obvious red one (cardinal) I dont know what the others are....except the big black ones are nasty to other birds.

He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.

Winston,nice pics and the big black one is a Grackler,not nasty at allat my house they all get along.
People look at black birds,the same as they look at black cats and dogs,it's not their fault that they are not particularly pretty

Grackles are pretty--they have irridescent heads. But they also can have nasty characters--plus they're feeder hogs if they come in large numbers. Still, I never begrudge a grackle a meal--especially since they come so infrequently here, and usually only one at a time.

The little brown birds are house sparrows. The one with the black chin is the male. The plainer one is the female.

It looks like your new feeder is a hit!!
