Rain or Shine...Birds Dispute




Two birds disputed about a kernel, when a third swooped
down and carried it off!

  1. Cudowne zdjęcie. Też obserwuję drobne walki ptaków o pokarm w moim karmiku. Pozdrawiam. *** Wonderful picture. Also watch for me little birds fighting for food. Yours.

  3. And all of this makes owning a birdfeeder fun!! I love watching them all trying to eat together. When they get it down, I introduce a new feeder and that switches up their eating patterns:)

  5. My feeders look very similar Cat! I love to watch the birds and listen to their chatter. I expect the cedar waxwings to make an appearance very soon. Cant' wait for that!

  6. Someone needs to tell those birdies that there's plenty of kernels to go around :) Nice pics.

  8. Wow, those goldfinches are so colorful! I have had some at my feeders lately, but they are still rather dull colored. Maybe I am misidentifying them. I fill my feeders and I swear the next day they are empty. I think I have more than birds visiting. Grrr. Loving the RAIN we are getting!! It is POURING as I type this. Every little bit helps.

  9. Lovely shots Cat,
    I am always seeing some sort of argument break out on the feeders in my garden! I suppose when food is scarce, birds will fight for their lives!

  13. I love bird feeders in winter - what wonderful shots! You are reminding me to order a new one. Our last one rotted out and I miss my winter visitors.

  14. The best part of winter is seeing the birds. But I have never understood all the fighting. It must be a hard life for them to have to fight over every kernel of food.

  15. What a great proverb. I don't feed the birds any more, it got too expensive, but what I miss most is watching their quarrelsome antics on the feeders.
