My parents have 3 or 4 different ones that frequent their feeders. They are some cool birds. They buy big boxes of the seed cakes and suets as well for all the other birds. They go through them pretty quickly.

We get them pretty regularly; we've had a redhead recently - those are far more uncommon for us. The one that is most uncommon for us are the flickers.

I have had a new visitor at our bird feeder as well. It's a Rose Breasted Gosbeak. Never seen one before. I don't currently have a picture but, will try and get one. Also have several White-Crowned Sparrows this year. Also a first.

We have them for about a week and then they are gone.. |
