Rose-breasted Grosbeak birds
Rose-breasted Grosbeak After about 6-7 weeks of feeding black sunflower seeds to the locals, mostly Finches and American Goldfinches and Black Hat Chickadees, a couple grosbeaks how shown up. They are bigger than the finches, as is easily apparent in their efforts to squeeze onto the perch of the bird feeder and still be able to turn their head in and get seeds.

Birds enjoying sunflower seeds
Just a couple shots at the feeder today.

This is where they park themselves, high up in a alder tree next to the house when they are spooked, or just resting.
parked When they decide to move back, they do so about 1-2 trees closer at a time. Eventually one gets brave enough to go to the feeder and not long after that it gets busy again.

New cylinder screen bird feeder
new feeder accepted I quite literally made this feeeder in about 20 minutes and mounted it on a 7ft tall log from the wood pile. Within 20 minutes the birds were feeding from it. đŸ™‚ The platform has holes cut in it with a bug screen stapled over that.

Glass wall bird feeder
A perfect scrap wood project Made from 3/4 inch scrap wood pine, this was an interesting project to make. The shingled roof slides up to fill the feeder and the glass panes hold the bird seed in place, only allowing a bit out for the birds to feed on from the bottom.
