I have a set of feeders in my backyard, so the little feather floofs come to me. It's been interesting to see what comes by. I'm also part of Cornell University's #ProjectFeederWatch, counting how many of these little ones show up on a weekend. So in some sense, I'm doing some science to help birds!
We make a bark butter that all the birds go nuts for, and the suet feeders are right at my front window, so we have a great view of the competition as we do our birdcount for #ProjectFeederWatch. The poor mourning doves are always on the menu for the Sharp-Shinned and Cooper's hawks that do flybys.
-19 with 5cm fresh snow and gusting winds makes for busy times at the bird feeders this morning, 15 Cardinals, 30 Juncos, 13 Chickadees, 8 Blue Jays, 12 Goldfinches, Hairy and Downey and Red-breasted Woodpeckers, a Tree Sparrow and a Cottontail rabbit in for a nibble. #birds #ProjectFeederWatch.
Today is #BirdFeedingDay!
Also the start of #NationalBirdFeedingMonth. I’ve been part of #ProjectFeederwatch for 10 years. I’ve counted over 30 #bird species in our #Vancouver yard & recorded them through #BirdsCanada & #CornellLabofOrnithology.
The birds featured here are just a few of them.
Today is #NationalBirdDay! The 4 birds featured here – Steller’s jay, downy woodpecker, Anna’s hummingbird, & red breasted nuthatch – were just 4 of the species I saw while doing my bird count for #ProjectFeederwatch today.

A red-breasted nuthatch and house sparrow enjoying Christmas morning peanuts at the feeder.
We rarely see a red-breasted nuthatch but this one showed up for Christmas morning breakfast. #birds #maryland #projectfeederwatch
A bright red male cardinal is perched on the crook of a bird feeder pole. Snow covered shrubs are in the background.
The cold weather has brought lots of birds to the feeders and birdbaths. House sparrows were enjoying spa baths yesterday, but most birds are happy getting a drink. #birds #maryland #projectfeederwatch
This Sharp-Shinned hawk hung around the feeders for 1/2 hr looking for lunch today. #Birds #ProjectFeederWatch.
Hey, it's #ProjectFeederWatch season. Mine are going up today. www.birdscanada.org/you-can-help... #birds
Here's a phone pic through the window of 4 of the 12 Cardinals at my front feeders now, amazing. So colourful on the snow. #Birds #ProjectFeederWatch.
25 Starlings, and 1 Red Bellied Woodpecker were all buzzing around the 4 Sunflower tower feeders, 2 Niger tower feeders, 2 Peanut feeders and a fly-through platform Cracked corn feeder, and I just made some Bark Butter suet to put out, a great opening weekend for #ProjectFeederWatch #Birds.😄

Today is the first day of Project Feeder watch. It's always nice to participate in a citizen science project, and have your sightings entered as data into a larger pool. Hopefully it's useful to some researcher.
Got lucky today with the Hermit Thrush. The purple […]

Blue Jays and Chickadees were busy at the feeders
yesterday #Birds #ProjectFeederwatch.
As winter approaches our Chickadee Haven is forming, probably 15-20 here now, more will come when the snow flies. #Birds #ProjectFeederWatch.

Adult Broad-winged Hawk perched on a fence, looking to its right. There's a piece of what looks like white paper attached to its right wing, and I'm not sure what that's about. (Photographed in south Oak Park, Illinois, on April 15, 2025.)

There were lots of reports of Broad-winged Hawks flying over Chicagoland yesterday. This morning an adult Broad-winged Hawk landed on our back fence, then flew to an alley wire. The hawk was not a first for our backyard, but it was a first for a #ProjectFeederWatch day at our count site.
A Sharp-shinned Hawk gives a fierce, slightly judgmental stare straight at the camera. Its sharp gray feathers are crisp in the foreground, with a soft, wintry blur of snow and trees behind—clearly not amused to have missed out on its lunch.
Sharpie in the hood! 🪶
This bird has been drawn to the feeders to the great dismay all other yard birds both large and small.

🐭 TUFTED TITMOUSE (Baeolophus bicolor)
The grey mohawk makes for a nice brushy crest don’t cha think? Do you get these guys in your yard? #tuftedtitmouse #projectfeederwatch #songbird #springmigration #njaudubon
Three Common Grackles at a snow-covered bird feeder. Two of the birds are gripping the metal mesh feeder filled with peanuts, while the third is flapping its wings below as they jostle for position.
Three Common Grackles perched on the top of a bird feeder during a snowfall. The birds have glossy black feathers with iridescent blue heads, and their bright yellow eyes stand out. One bird on the left has its wings and tail slightly spread as it makes its characteristic readle-eak call.
I could not be happier to welcome back all the glorious blackbirds!
Grackles have a pretty bad rep — they’re big, they’re noisy, they chase off smaller species, but dang they are fun to watch.
There has been high drama at the feeders since their return! 🪶

As a twenty-year #ProjectFeederWatch participant and supporter of #BirdsCanada, the importance of helping our feathered friends has never been greater, especially with bird flu popping up everywhere.
Yesterday was warm, the #moon was rising mid-day, purple deadnettle and hairy bittercress were blooming, house finches were on the feeder, daffodils were sprouting - what a great day! ☀️🌓🐦🌱😍 #Wildflowers #Birds #MyYardMyBirds #Nature #ProjectFeederwatch #NaturePhotography

It’s a finch frenzy! Two American goldfinches flying toward a yellow and black tube feeder, while two other goldfinches pick away at the nyjer seed.
My feeders have been pretty quiet this winter. The best days are when big flocks of American Goldfinches pay a visit #ProjectFeederWatch
… #ProjectFeederWatch, and am working on getting my town certified as an EFTA Bird City. Birds are really good for stress!
The doctor demanded I get some rest. So, I found the only activity beyond napping and TV that I find comfort in... watching nature. At least I can gather data for #projectfeederwatch.
This Downy Woodpecker took a while to locate the suit. Of course, my squirrels are always checking up on me.
