Good Morning Tweeters,
This is my first entry to Tweeters. I live in the Renton Highlands just 1.5 miles east of Lake Washington. I love sharing the world with birds!!
The snow is beautiful and bringing many birds to my garden and feeders. Since 1/10 a beautiful yellow-rumped warbler has appeared everyday for her share of the suet feeder. Along with a beautiful Townsend warbler, I am seeing many Northern flickers, house finches, house sparrows, and song sparrows. Bushtits come by the flock to collect on the suet feeders like bees to a honeycomb. Black-capped chickadees, and chestnut-backed chickadees enjoy the seed feeders. Thank goodness for all the juncos that come to clean under the feeders. I was also surprised by a female red-winged blackbird and a Bewick wren. And don't forget the beautiful, but mischievous Stellar jay!! What I really want to know is how to get rid of so many European starlings!! When they descend on the feeders, there is much bickering among them and they can clean out a feeder in just a few hours.
