Visiters to the bird feeder
I noticed a bird visiting my new feeder, but it wasn't eating. It was landing on the feeder and flapping its wings SO hard the seeds would shake onto the ground.
When I stood up to look at the base of my feeder, not only was the provider of the feast munching down, but three or four of his buddies as well.
I am not a birder by any means, but this bird and its behavior were new to me. So I got out the brother's Birds of North America book.
A black-eyed junco. I think! A female is pictured above. The male is identical except for his black head. The behavior listed included waiting at the base of bird feeders for fallen seed.
I think I may be close here. I'm sure you will tell me if I'm not! LOL
