Got a few more fun pictures today.
I thought this one was funny because they look like someone just yelled, "Hey, you guys!"
It's a party.
It looks like that sparrow is yelling at the guy next to him.
I like these in-flight pictures.

You are getting a lot of different species for this time of year. I live in middle GA. My busiest time is end of February to October. My favorite is when the babies learn to fly and parents feed them on the feeder. Great pictures and videos.Got a few more fun pictures today.

Yay! I'm so glad you guys are enjoying the pictures and videos from this feeder because I am really having fun sharing them with you!
We've been getting tons of pictures so I'm having to pick the ones I really like or found interesting for whatever reasons. Sometimes the birdies are just funny in their actions or expressions.
I didn't think we were going to see the lady Cardinal this morning, but then she popped up, just a bit late.
It always makes me smile to see her. I know now, since the camera caught him, that her mate is waiting in the bushes. So we know who the brave one is in the pair. -- Holy cow! I just now noticed that he is right there, visible in this shot! He's in the bush, waiting for her.
I read a little bit about it and it turns out that the male Cardinal will do the foraging when the female is nesting. Otherwise they both forage for food. Definitely seems he's letting her do the heavy lifting right now, though.
I'm wondering, since they're territorial, if they'll establish this feeder as theirs and fight off other couples.
This sweet little guy looks like one of the Juncos.
One of those in-flight pictures.
I just think this is funny because he looks so pissed off.
This is so much more fun because I get to share it with you guys.

Oh I LOVE the pictures of the female cardinal. I know the male is the prettiest but that female is gorgeous too. I had to look for the male cardinal when you said it was in the bushes. It’s just above the suet. How cool is that. She sure wears big girl pants out of the two of them
That IS a Junco for sure. A cute little guy.
It’s hard to get birds in flight but your camera has no problems with it. One bird I haven’t seen yet is a chickadee. We have a surplus of chickadees. Then again, they prefer black oiled sun flower seeds.
Thanks for showing us the birdies. I really miss feeding the birds and your sharing sure changes how I feel about it all.

Thank you for pointing out where the male Cardinal is; he is a bit small in the picture and I hadn't thought to do that.
Yeah, I wonder where the little Chickadees are? They are supposed to be around at this time of year, apparently. Hopefully, we'll get to see some soon. It is sunflower seeds we have in the feeder, but I don't know what type.
Thanks for saying that, Patty. I'm so glad; it's fun for me too.

That’s real quality seeds. No wonder you are getting so many birds.

Oh right. I forgot that. It seems to be working just fine. I haven’t seen the squirrel on it for a while now.Yes, shelled sunflower seeds soaked in hot pepper oil.

I know! And the camera hasn't picked up any squirrel action on still or video for days!
10 sec video of the lady Cardinal this morning.
And the little Junco.
And I thought this was interesting, the sparrow picking at the suet. I'd thought it was only birds like Cardinals and Blue Jays that eat the suet.
The Junco in flight.
