Birds of Wisconsin

OK, Vlad is not a bird, but he flies. My brother was working in an empty warehouse and found this little Brown Bat on the cold concrete floor and brought it home to me in a bucket. I was able to rescue him and fed him all winter, then released him near where he was found the next spring.

I have a standup electric box outside my window that I started putting seeds on. It didn't take long for every bird in the neighborhood to find it.

A summer migrant to La Crosse Wisconsin, always welcome at my feeder.

Hummingbirds are generally the first to come North in spring and the last to leave. I have left my feeder up some years past Christmas, just in case.

This is a thief, a halfbreed regular and Black squirrel eating bird food, the little begger.

A Red Cardinal at my window feeder. He returns here every year.

Various local and migratory birds that have been coming to my bird feeder for years.

A migratory sparrow that returns to my free food buffet every year. Cute little bottomless pits.

Goldfinch mother feeding her baby.

Goldfinches are common here in Wisconsin in the summer, but they Migrate when it gets cold.

You never know who will show up for free food, this time it was a male Redbelly Woodpecker, an unusual feeder bird.

Now here's an extremely unusual visitor to my feeder. This Robin is a yearly regular though, so he must feel entitled. LOL

Birds crowding onto the feeder outside my window.

Birds have been arriving all month and they are hungy and need to pick a boss.
