November in Bird Alley

A nice surprise this morning was a pair of Purple Finch, a male and a female. Its been a while since this species has been feeding in Bird Alley. Today was our lucky day for seeing them here.
Handsome Gray Squirrel is a regular these days. It loves peanuts!

Perfectly designed, the peanut feeder and the sharp pointed beak of the White-breasted Nuthatch for feeding in small holes. The nuthatch has become a frequent daily feeder now and we have also seen s Red-breasted Nuthatch here also.

  5. Beautiful pictures. I love feeding the birds, but not the squirrels - they destroy my bird feeders. Thanks.
