Birds in the back yard

[HD]

must like the offering's you put out!!!

Pretty sure you nailed that one Mikey! 
A few weeks ago, I was cleaning out the barn. I found several bags of old duck/turkey/goose feed pellets. Jr got them for free and was going to add them to his bear bait. Welp, he forgot about them. So I asked him if I could feed the wild turkeys with it, and he said "go for it"

Lots of chickadees, red poles and finches. A couple cardinals and bluejays. I haven't seen any grosbeaks yet, which is strange. But, even more strange is this guy is still hanging around 🤔

HD.....are you referring to the pine and evening grosbeaks??????? if so i think they only come down from Canada when the going gets tuff up there.  thats what i've noticed at the cabin anyway. usually when they get piles of snow and cold!!!!!!

Saw a Coopers hawk here yesterday on one of my return trips from the field. Today, no hawk so far & lots of bird activity. More goldfinches & lots of chickadees.

Had a magpie hanging around the other day.  Haven't seen one in a while.  We put dog food in the bird feeder when we first moved here and they magpies showed up big time.  Scared all of the other birds away so never did that again.  There used to be a lot of sheep here.  Heard people cus the magpies saying they would peck the eyes out of lambs.

Don't see magpies around home, but do up north  ut seems like only in the fall and winter??
