Visiting the metal bird

avatar
(Edited)

First off, I want to say a huge thank you to @solominer for his very generous delegations to #FeatheredFriends/hive-106444 and to @DNA.org If you notice that you are receiving bigger votes on your bird posts remember to tell him thanks for his support!

I always wonder if the birds stop by to visit because they feel a bit sorry for this poor black bird who can't fly and is always perched a top this metal plant hanger on my deck!

This is an assortment of birds that have posed with the metal bird and I have taken pictures of over the past year.

I miss the summer birds so much and will be so happy to see them return in June.

Right now the black metal bird looks like he is frozen solid out there. This starling almost became lunch for a hawk just a few minutes ago, but he escaped. The hawk must still be in the neighborhood because there is not a songbird to be seen in my entire backyard right now

It is minus 22 degrees Celsius out there right now and I feel so sorry for these little guys! I'm keeping the feeders full for them.

Mel, this is such a good idea to have captured the birdies near the iron one..I bet they were attracted to him and a bit surprised he was stubbornly showing his back 😄

Thanks! I really wanted to get a Cardinal and a blue Jay but they have not been cooperative. I'll keep watching for more to land there.

Loving those birds next to the art, helps me gauge how big they are. Great idea to collect pictures of them over the years.

Ah glad I could add some more stake to communities. I see so many great posts on both communities so figured my HP would goto good use there.

Curating some posts from both community's tomorrow. Looking forward to some minnows posts I can feature on "Solo's weekly picks".. thanks to MSP (Minnow Support Project) for letting me do weekly curation there.

You can count on us putting your dele to good use! I honestly can't thank you enough and I will be watching to see which posts you curate! There are some very deserving ones here.
It is really great to see you being active in the DNA Discord. I feel a bit guilty for not spending more time there, but I simply run out of time! I need more hours in my days!

It's taken me a while to have the opportunity to take all of these. I still would like to catch a few more landing there! It has been fun and given me a photo goal.

I marvel at your knowledge of different bird species. Beyond pigeons, sparrows and crows I just would normally say the brown one or the green one with the long beak, or the red one with white beak, etc. lol. It must have taken you years of bird watching to be able to be knowledgeable about the different kinds. Great post and great idea.

I am good at identifying the ones that live in my back yard but I am not good with birds in other places! I have learned a few here, but seeing them in photos is not the same as watching them and learning their habits. For me that is part of remembering who they are!
