I put some meal worms, nyjer seed, and sunflower kernels out yesterday. The first time, after many, many months. Right away a Chickadee showed up, perhaps because I always call to the birds to let them know I’m putting food out for them.

The Chickadees have continued. I saw three this afternoon out there. And this female Northern Flicker (Yellow-shafted subspecies)(Colaptes auratus auratus), in a Flowering Dogwood tree. The Flicker may take a little while longer to approach the feeder. They aren’t quite as fearless as Chickadees are.

We’ll see. Stay tuned!
