SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - WHAT'S THIS?









But then....


And so it goes on a Saturday Morning at the bird feeder. You have to be quick around here, but never fear my feathered friends, things will be back to normal tomorrow.

Thanks for flying in everyone.
Have a wonderful day!

  1. A really special treat for the birds! I think my favorite is the first one of the little woodpecker tilting his head at it. I think suet is their favorite. You got great photos!

    1. Thanks Ginny :) I had accidentally pushed these suet cakes into the back of a cupboard and found them looking for something else. I was glad to have something for the birds to eat today. I had been slow on getting their regular bird seed getting ready for the 25th.

  6. The mourning dove is so pretty, but it needs to be quicker off the mark to enjoy the goodies you put out.

  7. Those always went quick when I would put them out. Too bad those last two got there late and didn't get any.

    1. Yes, they seem to be very popular. Thankfully we found a bag of birdseed hidden away in a corner of the garage. The dove and bluebird are happy again :)

  8. Cute birds and captions. Some birds have to be quicker at grabbing some food.
    Take care, have a happy day and a great last weekend of 2024.

  9. A fine suet cake is a magnet for the birds, but at my house the squirrels sometimes get there first and there is not much left when the birds arrive.

    1. Thanks David and yes, the squirrels seem to get more than their fair share. Right now, however, we have one squirrel in the bottom part of the feeding bench, and the birds are on the top :)

    1. I miss feeding them when we run out of food for them, and the summer when the larger wildlife are roaming :) Thanks Rose!

  14. TOL (tweet out loud) hilarious.. I bought a Christmas bell suet to hang on the feeder hook near the trees and I put a cake in the suet cage. The itty bitty nut hatches, chick a dees, titmouse and Downy found them first. then the big beaks found it.
    But seems all are getting their turn.
    Hugs Cecilia

  15. Some birds need to control their appetites so other little guys get some food.
