Field Notes

Description:

There was a rotation for a while at the suet feeder. American Goldfinch --> Bluebird --> Woodpecker -->American Goldfinch and so on. Then the Bluebird landed and the Woodpecker didn't want to leave. There was a staring contest and the Bluebird won.

Shea - the funny thing was the rotation was going well, and there was a 2nd suet feeder about 10 feet from this one. This one was the preferred one though, for reasons only the birds know. Could be like the preferred tennis ball with a 3 dog pack..they all want the one the other dog has.

Haha! You go bluebird! I love to watch the interactions between the birds at my feeders! It is very comical sometimes!
