Well…I finally have birds coming to my feeder and it is pretty cool but very loud as they peck at the food I’ve put in my windowsill and bang on the feeder….have the biggest darn bluejay I’ve ever seen that has been coming for the past few days and that thing is so big it barely fits on the feeder and it scares the other birds away when it comes in…but, even that huge bird was chased off by a Redwing Blackbird the other day and I know they are pretty aggressive birds having been attacked by them when riding by their nests in the spring…well…not attacked but they fly down and peck at my hat for some reason and I find it funny after I got used to it…the Grackles have even found the feeder and they eat in packs…when I have 6 of them on the sill and feeder it is pretty loud but fun to see….had a red bellied woodpecker on the feeder last week that I thought was a Northern Flicker and I’m not sure why I thought that…but, I thought the Grackles were Starlings so I guess it’s pretty easy to make mistakes…even had a Chickadee on the feeder but still no sparrows and I think that is still weird….but it may be the Grackles are scaring them away there are so many of them and they are pretty big birds…need to figure out where to hang the hummingbird feeder this summer to try to lure some of them in and give me something to watch…will probably put the hanger outside the same window so I can see it when I’m doing this….not sure if I’ll keep the window feeder up all summer but it doesn’t cost much and I’m sure the birds can use an easy food source even with all of the natural food out here…for a long time, I didn’t think I’d get one bird on the feeder so it is cool to have them finally find it…
