Greedy Birds

Posted by Jake & Christina

We thought it would be cute to hang a bird feeder on our balcony. We really enjoyed seeing all of the random birds that it attracted. Our bird feeder was a pretty popular place...until...we ran out of seed! Once we ran out of seed, birds started gathering on the rail of our balcony and squawking like mad! It was like they were leading a protest! We decided to go and purchase some more seed for them. Since then, they have been nice and quiet for us. :) I am glad we alleviated that situation before things got out of hand ;)
Here are just a few of our frequent visitors:

We think this is a female cardinal
  
This might be a male cardinal. He is missing the spikes on this head though. Maybe he likes the "slicked back" look. hehe
I think he looks kind of sinister...
  
We think this is a nuthatch. These guys are messy. They just search for the sunflower seeds and toss everything on the ground. I am pretty sure the person the lives below us is going to get sick of our seeds on their balcony.

 
We think that this might be a downy woodpecker. 
After reading this post, I have come to the conclusion that Jake and I:
1) Are elderly bird watchers disguised as 25 year-olds.
2) Are definitely nerds with too much time on our hands  :)
