How many times have we been caught without our camera when we see something out of the ordinary in the bird world? Well, not this time. Here is a sight I haven't seen too often, one bird feeding another, unless it's the parents feeding their hatchlings.
I think these two birds are young Rose Breasted Grosbeaks. Are they brother and sister or are they of the same sex, kind of hard to tell with them being so young.
On this particular day, the theme must have been Let's SHARE A MEAL. These Downy Woodpeckers seem to be a little older than the last pair and it's easier to see that they are both males. Are they brothers or just good friends?
On this particular day, I think that every woodpecker in the neighborhood flew in for a snack, including these two male grosbeaks
The activity at the feeder was nonstop. It's not too often that so many birds feed at the same time.
Here we have two feeding while two patiently wait for their turn at the feeder.
Five in all, three munching away and two others looking on.
One feeding, one waiting his turn, and one making a landing on the roof of the feeder.
At this rate, I'll need to put a couple of new blocks of suet in the feeder by the morning.
With all of the activity on this particular day, I sat watching for an hour or more until I decided it was time to get something done besides #birdwatching.
A big thanks to ,
, and
for keeping an eye out for all of us bird lovers
