Good Morning Father,
The bird in question is a Brown Thrasher. In the same family (thrush) as a Robin.
Great pics Father Z =)
Question: How do you keep grackles away from your feeders? I have a huge problem with the yellow-eyed abominations here in my city, and they seem to particular like my suet feeder, coming in flocks like a Hitchcock movie. Any advice you can give me?
That napping woodpecker is too much! I guess he figures he’ll be close to the food when he wakes up. You have attracted the most amazing array of birds. I’m not sure what the little mystery guy is, but I’d say you are pretty close in calling him the kingbird.
Thank you for sharing the pictures of the beautiful birds Fr. Z. I needed this today.
there are many berries by me, perhaps the birds are drunk which could explain the odd behavior
Looks like a kingbird to me.
Aww, I love the woodpecker. :)
The napping woodpecker is now the background on my computer. A bird after my own heart.
Kingbirds are neat in that sometimes you see them hovering in the air..
I second the kingbird id.
torch621 – I was able to stop the grackles on my suet feeder by hanging it horizontally while leaving the suet in the plastic it came in (sans shrink wrap). That allows smaller birds to hang upside-down and eat from the only exposed facet of the suet block; a feat impossible for the larger grackle.
Recently I’ve spotted an ibis, a pair or storks, and a rather rare and graceful swallow-tailed kite here in coastal GA.
This has nothing to do with the pictures, but my colleague and I were seated outside of a little coffee shop in the Central West End of St. Louis, MO and we saw THE fattest pigeon in the world! The poor thing just waddled about the side walk, not once did I see it fly, I don’t think it had the strength to lift its ponderous bulk off of the ground.
