Project Feederwatch Update


Black capped chickadee - 4, White breasted nuthatch - 2, Cardinals - 3 (the males were fighting), downy woodpecker - 2, red bellied woodpecker - 1 (photo), pileated woodpecker - 1, blue jay - 1, crow - 1, cedar waxwing - 3. My heated water dish is attracting the cardinals and blue jays and the red bellied woodpecker.
By the way, a pesky gray squirrel was eating suet again today. This time he changed tactics and went to the white oak to the east of the deck instead of the basswood tree. He circled the trunk and sat on the lowest branch and looked right at me. I squirted him in the forehead with my trusty water gun. Oh, so satisfying!
