Welcome to your Public Forum! Please use it to tell all of us what birds you are seeing in your yard, your neighborhood, on your balcony or fire escape, or in your favorite park. Tell us about any wildlife refuges you are visiting. And the birds you are seeing – what are they doing? Are they singing, nest-building, flying, foraging, sitting still and resting? Are they interacting with those of their own species or with others? Are they by themselves? In a flock? Ask questions and learn more about topics that are important to you. And remember, no question is too basic or simple – we all have to start somewhere.  If you are having trouble posting, have something to discuss with me, or have a question for me, please email me at lindahendricksspence@birdingbeyondthefieldguide.com.

Barry's Backyard Buffet

Good morning - as did Miles,  I found some interesting activity in my backyard this morning.

Oooops... I guess that I can only upload 2 pictures per subject/topic.

The main subject today was the hawk eating something off the ground that we put out some nights - some type of table scraps that usually the possums or raccoons get.  Last night it was Italian panettone bread... and so since nobody got it last night,  if you zoom in on the image 3905,  you can see the light colored substance in its talons.  Who woulda thought?!?!?  Musta been AWFULLY hungry?!?!

Other picture just shows the layout of feeders, suet on tree and one of the bird baths/drinking fountains.

Another set of pictures to follow....                  Barry    1/9   <11am
