It’s been a week, and Owlie has gotten a lot of attention from the birds here, and has changed a bit in appearance. You can’t see that the back is almost entirely eaten already. I love that this feeder invites several species to eat together, they usually don’t always like to share so much… Here we have one of my favorites, a Redbreasted Nuthatch (I think it is a male, his head cap is all black, the females have grey there), and a Goldfinch.

Btw - Birdsy (I took this video with their camera) has finally launched in the US, and they are doing a Christmas sale right now. You can find them at birdsy.com.

The kamikaze peeps, (Goldfinches), continue to fight, and it is always a good opportunity to see some wing action in the photos.

It's Labor Day weekend and things have slowed down and it is a nice time to relax a bit. I hope everyone in the US has a nice Labor day. Here is a young MoDo to ring in late summer. I love the way their faces look “shadowed”.

Today was a great birding day

despite the really really bad weather, or maybe because of it. There were so many photos… For tonight, just this one, more in the morning. The Gray (I got the spelling wrong earlier) hung around all day and checked out all the feeders and made me all giddy.
