Downy #woodpecker female - hand feeding birds at Kensington Metropark. I love when she picked sunflowers from the creases of my fingers! #birds

Blue Jay #birds enjoying seeds and suet bites. Our jays are not feeder bullies at all, they stop by once or twice per day at most. #birding #BackyardBirds

Something happened to the last friendly #chipmunk. Now we have only 1 near the house. It took 2 weeks to slowly earn her trust. Even then, she is cautious, but comes at my call. She may have 2 burrows and maybe took old Chip's stores.

The edge of the baffle is serrated from little bite sized chunk removals. I admire the perseverance and planning ability of the squirrel. We had to raise it because a fresh young one outsmarted it. Also an easy way to distinguish individual #squirrels is by their ears - spacing, angle, shape etc

Poor early Robin 😭 we took peanut suet off from the cage feeder so he could eat something. There was a second but this one chased it in the afternoon before we figured out how to feed them. Don't know if it ever returned #BackyardBirding #birds #birding

He's alive ♥️🤍🖤 He finally showed up two days ago in the afternoon. But he's very cold, doing everything to protect body heat. Hope the cold lets up soon. We're ready for winter to be over. #BackyardBirding #birds #woodpeckers #birding

I call him my little tree duck because of how they look when taking off in flight ♥️ #birds #birding #BackyardBirds

Tufted titmouse using her tiny tongue to taste the food 🤦 #birds #birding
