Feeding the Birds

The seed catcher is working great, however, the squirrels are feeding in it. It's too close to a fence which gives them a perfect opportunity to feed. Will try moving the feeder a bit. Going broke on suet. I love that the woodpeckers keep coming back to eat, as to the White Breasted Nut Hatches...but those damn grackles......

I'm in California. I got up this morning to look out on the morning (destruction/construction) from my deck and found a struggling young Kestrel. It kept trying to fly into the glass. Talia was interested and then got bored. I used a plastic chair to lift it up over the railing, after going downstairs for the camera and taking some photos, of course, and then it finally flew away.

Nice shot! Was that the Canon you returned? I think I mentioned that three of my sisters have purchased a Sony camera and all are impressed with the zoom, including one who has previously used DSLRs but got tired of lugging the heavier stuff around.

Yes, Lainey. I bought the CANON POWERSHOT SX730 from Best Buy and returned it. I didn't like it at all. My Lumix has a 30X zoom and it's easy to use.

Not birds, but two new white squirrels in the neighborhood this spring. Haven't had one in quite a few years. These are babies and snowy white. One seems to be in one tree, the second in another. Wonder how long they'll last.
