When Black Bears are in the vicinity, I bring the bird feeders in, so this doesn't happen.
Last couple of nights I got lazy and didn't bring them in and the bears took advantage.
I had to shoo them off three times last night. The third time I had to get loud because the biggest one just sat and stared at me while she was eating the sunflower seeds.
But I will not forget to bring them in before dark now.

Winter Backyard Birding
Black oil sunflower seeds transformed my backyard into a small avian metropolis.
GUYS hummingbirds are not iguanas, they do not "freeze," they go into torpor & will wake up good as new so PLEASE if you can monitor your feeders keep them up so they will have food available
some of my neighbors make this mistake every year, not bad for me, their winter hummingbirds then end up in my yard & in the yards of other hummingbird fans in the know but...
you could be enjoying them too...

I hang feeders random on hooks, don't really think about it doing so
4 feeders with different food: peanuts, fatballs, mixed birdfood and sunflower-seeds, peeled, 😋 easy to snack
Do they smell what's in there?
Does 1 make a choice and the rest follows?
Do they see 👓 what's in it? 🤣

For the Birds
The weather here in Maynooth was very mild until a couple of weeks ago and with the arrival of inclement conditions I started putting out the bird feeders in my garden. I can see the level of the seed from my kitchen window so know when they need filling up. I had one out for a couple of days before the arrival of Storm Claudia with associated torrential rain, but when it passed I was surprised to see the feeders were still half full so I left them.
Last weekend it started to become very cold so I was surprised there were no birds at the feeder. When I went out to look I realized that owing the heavy rainfall some water had got into the seed container, with the result that some of the seeds had started to germinate. This formed a tangled mass of shoots that blocked the gap through which seed is dispensed. The reason the feeders were not empty was not that the birds weren’t hungry, but that no seed was coming out.
I took the feeders inside and cleaned out all the matted seedlings. Then I took them back to the shed to fill up, at which point I knocked over the jar in which I stored the birdseed, scattering the supply all over the floor. There wasn’t much left anyway, but my clumsiness reduced the stock to zero so I was unable to feed the birds despite having functioning feeders.
Yesterday I finally had time to buy some more birdseed. I filled up the feeders as soon as I got home. It was quite interesting to watch the sequence of events. The first to arrive were sparrows who, being small and agile, were quite happy taking terms perching at the feeders. Not long after, however, starlings arrived, squabbling and squawking as they usually do. Starlings are much larger then sparrows and are extremely messy and noisy eaters, their attempts to perch at a feeder causing it to swing and scatter seed all over the ground.
(Incidentally, the term for a large group of starlings is a murmuration, a congregation, a cloud, or a constellation, but there are alternatives for a smaller group like the dozen or so that arrived in my garden. These include a clutter, a scourge, a vulgarity and, my favourite, a filth…)
Some starlings and sparrows started to feed on the ground, as did a very bonny collared dove, walking around calmly amid the flurry of other birds and paying them no attention at all .
At this point the feeder was almost empty.
The last cohort to arrive were the rooks and jackdaws. These are too big to even attempt to perch so their modus operandi is to crash into the feeders to try to break them or knock them down to the ground where they are easier to attack. They didn’t succeed, so they left.
Now the feeders are empty, the birds have gone, and all is quiet. I think I’ll put more food out tomorrow before I go to work. I imagine they’ll be empty by the time I get back home.

Squirrels Vs Bird Feeders! Why!?
-New Foamy Episode Posted!
54
I was thinking about doing something with this post where I post an image with the old Studio 54 logo. Having lived through the disco era and today being my 54th birthday, I figured that would be funny. Then I realized it would not be funny at all, it would be dumb. So I changed my mind and just went with this.
Today is my birthday. I am 54 years old. I am NOT happy about it. When I was 53 years old I could sort of convince myself that 53 is still your early 50’s. At 54 I can’t do that anymore. I am firmly entrenched in my mid 50’s and again, I am NOT happy about it.
The weather is nice right now. That’s good. Of course the forecast is calling for rain later so that’s fitting. Blah. I filled the bird feeders because I wanted those little monsters to have a nice celebration on my birthday. I took a couple of pictures. This one is with the aperture wide open, f1.8. Blurry background, babie!
https://www.flickr.com/photos/robj_1971/54505261886/in/datetaken/
This next one is the opposite. This one has the aperture closed down as far as it goes. f22, which means the shutter speed is super slow which is why it’s a little soft on the focus. Image stabilization helps, but it’s not perfect. Note that the background is not blurry at all.
https://www.flickr.com/photos/robj_1971/54505452014/in/datetaken/
Now when you compare the two photos you know how your lens aperture controls your depth of field. See? You didn’t realize I was going to give you all a photography lesson for my birthday, but there you go. Happy birthday, hohoho.

Theres a concept in #whisky of “the angels share,” which is the amount of alcohol that evaporates during the aging process.
I just filled all our #birdfeeders and they’re all pretty anti-squirrel. Some by design, some by where I hang them. But inevitably some spills on the ground under the #birdfeeder. So I call that “the squirrels share.”
Spring Feels
It’s not quite Spring yet, but it kinda feels like it today. I honored the pleasant weather with this:
I’ve also opened some windows. The cats haven’t connected the two events yet, but they will.
