Spicy bird seed is supposed to be unappealing to squirrels. Clearly, the squirrels around here disagree. 🌶️🐿️ #squirrels #notabird

My nemesis remains undefeated. I’ve tried peppermint rodent spray and spicy bird seed. Nothing deters these guys. They’ve almost destroyed my other feeder. I installed a baffle on that one today. Is there another method I can try? #squirrels #birds #birdfeeder #backyardfeeder

Although Seamus has already made at least 2 visits this morning, we still got this little visitor. AI identified this bird as a dark-eyed junco. Was it right? #birds #backyardfeeder #putabirdonit

Things are escalating. Not only does Seamus visit 3-5x/day for 20min at a time absolutely stuffing his face… but now he’s bringing dates! #notabird #backyardfeeder 🪶🐿️

Suns finally out and it’s a busy day at the feeder! About 15 interactions in the last 4 hours. Here’s one of my favorites of the small birbs, Black-capped Chickadee #birds 🪶 #backyardbirds #birdfeeder

Birdwatching mystery! 🐦 Caught this trio on video, but IDing them is tricky. AI says Pine Siskin or House Finch. I’m thinking Pine Siskin… I see the pointy beak but no yellow markings. Any experts out there? #Birdwatching #BirdID #MysteryBirds 🪶

I've found that AI frequently confuses the Steller's Jay with: American Crow, Gray Catbird, Brown-headed Cowbird, and California Scrub-jay.
