October is a few weeks earlier than the time that I usually start feeding birds. I decided to put out a handful of black thistle seed (nyjer seed) because it can take a week or so for the birds to discover the feeders. Today I checked the feeder camera app and saw that one bird has found it.
It appears to be a female house finch. The male is much more colorful, and I hope to see him soon.
The camera takes videos, and I saved these images by holding down the progress bar and saying, “Siri, make a screen shot.” I cropped these and increased the contrast.
There were two short videos showing that a deer came by one morning. I live in town, but not far from what I consider the edge of town. There’s a farm a few blocks from my house, but the forest is much farther away.
really great images!! you have a good eye and a steady hand to capture all the pretty. i think it maybe a female house finch just starting to get her red feathers!!
