House Finch Call



  The sound of a House Finch calling is not going to blow you away, but they are sweet and similar to the contact type calls you hear from Goldfinches. House Finches love to raise their broods right on or around out houses and are such earnest and friendly birds.

Three Screech Owl Fledglings Visit the Backyard




The three Screech Owl kids are alive and well and all paid a special visit to the Backyard with their Dad the other evening. I was fortunate to be able to get in on video in the fading light so you all could see them, especially those who watched the live feed of the development. Most of the quality time was spent with the eldest and largest "Riker " but at the end the little one "Finito" made a brief appearance. All is well!

Chipmunk Gluttony




Chipmunks may be cute and endearing (unless they clean out $10 worth of good bird seed in a day). However, they do suffer from at least one of the 7 Deadly Sins - Gluttony. I wanted to get one last close-up video of this amazing capacity before I moved this feeder out of their reach for good. Note that at one point it is questionable whether the chipmunk will get its fat cheeks through the cage on the feeder. At least the millet is left to fall on the ground for the ground feeding birds. Chippy is after sunflower seeds and peanuts!

Backyard Birds Love Bird Baths




If you are feeding your backyard birds and not puting out a bird bath you are missing out on a lot of fun watching the birds enjoy themselves and also making their lives easier and your backyard more appealing. It doesn't have to be anything heavy or expensive, in this case it is just a plastic planter base from Wal Mart and it is the perfect depth for most songbirds. Even the little Painted Buntings can create quite a shower in it.

Mother Woodpecker Removes Body of Chick from Nest Box





Mother Woodpecker removes youngest chick that passed away yesterday morning thank goodness. If you've ever wondered about this subject this clip shows how it works - the chick must be removed or it will attract flies with maggots and possibly snakes and other predators. Three left look pretty vital this morning. I am so glad she removed it as blow flies and such were already investigating the smell. It was indeed surprisingly difficult for her to lift the chick out of the deep nest box but she made it. If you look closely all three remaining chicks were huddled around a hole in the nest box for a camera like they were trying to take in fresh air. It has been inhumanely humid and wet in the Backyard these past few days and I'm not sure woodpeckers even have a sense of smell, but the air at the bottom of the nest box is no doubt going bad do to decomposition so they may just naturally seek out fresh air. It will be quite awhile before they are big enough to climb up to the nest box entrance high above. Live Feed Continues at: https://www.youtube.com/MyBackyardBir...
