Goldfinches at the SeattleBirdCam. I've add a soundtrack of three Goldfinch songs recorded the following week. The three songs are repeated for the length of the video.
A Northern Flicker in the backyard of the Seattle Bird Cam. Usually we're used to seeing the Flickers eating the suet at the feeder. But they also engage in "anting" behavior, looking for insects and other food on the ground. You can tell by the "moustache" that this is a male.
Red-Breasted Nuthatches at a birdfeeder, mixing with Black-Capped and Chestnut-Backed Chickadees. This feeder is about 50 miles south of the Seattle Birdcam.
Tim of Colorado has a squirrel problem so bad that he almost gave up feeding the birds. But he built himself a Flexi-Perch birdfeeder and got this video of a squirrel trying to get at the seeds and finally falling off the feeder. The squirrel falls quickly, so that part is re-played in slow motion.
Since I installed a birdbath at the Seattle BirdCam this summer, I've been amazed at how many birds use it for drinking and bathing. It's so popular I may have to start the Seattle BirdBathCam. This Rufous-Sided Towhee is enjoying the waters.
These young Rufous-Sided Towhees are out foraging on their own for sunflower seeds at the Seattle Birdcam. Note the small, undeveloped beaks and the yellow areas where the upper and lower beaks meet.
This male visits the Seattle BirdCam regularly every day. Watch for the flash of red on his head when the light hits it right and listen for the buzz of his wings.
We put out peanuts for the Stellar's Jays at SeattleBirdCam.com, and the jays never just pick up a peanut to eat. They always pick one up, put it back down, then pick up another as if comparing their weights, before deciding which peanut to fly off with. Here's an example of that amusing behavior.
