In An Incredible Turn Of Events, The Bird Buddy Captured Two Birds At Two Different Feeders! The Male

Cedar waxwings congregated in the pine tree before diving down to the berries.

Black Point Wildlife Drive - 12/25/22

It’s so interesting to see how these two interact on the feeder together, sharing at first but then taking their time solo too. Such nice birds!

I can’t help but feel like his pointed look in the beginning at the pool enclosure is a question on when a bird bath will be opening up in addition the the bird feeders. Stick around for a surprise visitor!

Lovely little red bellied woodpecker that stopped by the yard yesterday.

Snacks on snacks!

I moved the bird buddy back and added in a platform feeder and a corn cob chair feeder in front of the camera. Fingers crossed for even more bird pics.

Black-Crowned Night Heron (Nycticorax nycticorax)

Black-Crowned Night Herons, as their name suggests, are mainly nocturnal, feeding at night or in the early morning. When hunting, they stand still at the water's edge, waiting to ambush prey, which includes a wide variety of aquatic and non-aquatic creatures. They are one of several heron species to have been observed engaging in 'fish baiting', tossing objects into the water to distract fish and striking when they get close.

Back with a special appearance from two of my favorite woodpeckers.

Another three in one! Staring with a male painted bunting on the suet feeder, a gray cat bird, and then a common grackle at the platform feeder! It’s so amazing to see who shows up in my backyard!!!

Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs is amazing! So glad I got to visit, even if it was just for a quick trip.
