Kittie Condos and Woodpeckers
August 5th, 2008 by Mark
In order to have the whole family capable of bird watching, we decided that the cat needed a place of her own (for bird watching of course). At first, she was a bit leery of it. Then she realized that she could see out the window and she spent the next two hours just staring out the window. So I think we were successful on that front!
On the bird watching front, we now have a resident Downy Woodpecker who is frequenting our feeder. While we really do find him fun to watch, he’s a picky eater. He will grab any seed that isn’t a black sunflower seed and throw it on the ground. While this behavior is cute at first, after a few minutes you can see that the seed level in the feeder has gone down noticeably.
In the second photo, you can actually see him with a flying seed in the background! It’s quite impressive how fast he can sort seed.
Hope you’re all having as much fun as we are!
