We recently purchased a new peanut feeder from our favourite bird store, A Place to Perch. It looks like a cat tail and you poke it into the ground or pot.
I poked it into one of the large metal tubs that had a tomato plant in it over the summer.
I'm hoping to attract the birds closer to the house so I can get better photos of them.
The top screws off and you fill it with peanuts. So far the downy woodpecker and chickadee have been to the feeder. I'm really happy with the photos of our lens friends that I've captured. I'm sure I'll get lots more photos over the winter.
I love your new feeder. Now that winter is upon us I will be doing more birdwatching. The birds give us such enjoyment in the cold season. V
ReplyDeletethat is the coolest thing - I'll have to check out that website. We get a couple of woodpeckers to our feeders, but so far no goldfinches (darn, darn).

ReplyDeleteI've given up feeding the birds because of our pesty squirrels, but this looks like something they may not be able to get in to. I'll have to look for one here.
How cute! Enjoy taking pictures!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures and neat feeder! I just love watching the birds!
ReplyDeleteWe too love to watch the birds in ALL Seasons. :0)
ReplyDeleteFantastic photos. The bird feeder is working so well.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda
ReplyDeleteI like this peanut feeder, and your visitor too. We have so many squirrels, they climb on ours and work until they get at the peanuts.

Great photos, Linda. The woodpecker looks very similar to the Great Spotted Woodpecker over here.
ReplyDeleteLinda always think your photos great but now with new feeder should be a wow.
ReplyDeleteLinda, I'll look forward to seeing your winter bird photos!

I am surprised that a feeder is for peanuts in the shell. I never though of woodpeckers being able to access it like this. I am going to look into getting this feeder. I just did a post on bluejays and peanuts and was amazed they could get the shells off.
ReplyDeleteWe've only had the downy so far--haven't seen the hairy, but we have seen both male and female pine grosbeaks for the first time this year.
