Great pics. Just cardinals, jays, sparrows, chickadees and the occasional finch here, mostly. More doves than I normally see, lately.
I've only seen a few bluebirds so far this year.

A mama duck walked her tiny ducklings to our pile of cracked corn this morning. Man, did those suckers eat!

The price to pay this morning is three destroyed feeders, damage to a supporting post for feeders and one heck of a mess that a sow and 3 one-year-old cubs can cause, when we forget to secure our feeders at night. Didn't hear em, didn't even suspect they had been here until I went out to fill the feeders. The enjoyment we have from the birds far outweighs our punishment for being negligent.....there, I beat myself up enough, time for pancakes.  |

sorry about the feeders... all of mine have be rebuilt/repaired many times even the chain link ones... but like you we find it worth it in the long run..
have yet to see a humming bird and the grosbeaks are back but they were late this year as well. 2 pr of blue birds in the next boxes and of course the tree swallows....
found bear track last week first of the year on my walk and my bear alarm (house beagle) has sounded off a few times now during the night but so far no damage....
