Upside Down Thistle Feeder

Posted By Ron Streetenberger

This feeder will normally be used by Goldfinch. If you know of another bird that will feed like this, let me know.

Artisan Robin Nest

Posted By Ron Streetenberger

Nothing like a little "bling" to liven up the old nest. This nest was about 40 feet up in a Post Oak.

WHITE WINGED DOVE

Posted By Ron Streetenberger

Taken through window glass. I can't seem to get close to these birds when I am outside. These birds began appearing two years ago. Until then they were mainly found in South Texas.
