Not satisfied with gleaning the seeds that drop, the pigeons discovered the feeder today. Quite a sight to see them figure out how to balance their bulk on the feeder. They sure looked uncomfortable.
Finch Family Picnic

Lots of wee babies out and about lately. We’ve seen baby sparrows, chickadees and these house finch families visiting the feeder lately. While the little ones seem to have no problem flying, mom is still feeding them, though she’s showing them the ropes. Typically, the families have been converging on the feeder with the babies sitting in the seed tray while mom puts food in their mouths until they get the hang of feeding on their own.
The house finches seem to be ahead of the sparrows right now. The little ones are loosing their fluffy plumage (though it still looks like they have bed head) and have started eating on their own while the sparrows are still cheep-cheeping and waiting for mom to fill their beaks.
Crow on the feeder!

Big bird, small feeder. Curiousity finally overcame him I guess.
