Bird Peeps Blogs

Hi: We have had a young red-bellied woodpecker screeching in our bradford pear trees for over 2 weeks. He is friendly, and allows my 7 yrold to get within 2 feet of him while climbing the trees...
He is drilling rows of holes in the trees... Is there anything we can feed this bird to vary his diet and calm the screeching?

I was walking outside one day when I heard a strange noise.I looked up and saw a Great Blue Heron flying about 3 feet above me.Later,I regreted I had not had my camera at the time.

I have been birding about six years but never had time to find a good life list program to put on my computer.

My special bird is I have Nutmeg Mannikins. I have so many that they scare the sparrows off my feeders.

This is our first year in a new house after living in our previous house for thirty years!!!

Yuck! Recently, I came home to an explosion of moths in my house. I started seeing them a week or so before they appeared en masse--one or two here and there, and I didn't think much about them. Then one evening, it appeared we were bombarded. I started spraying and sweeping the moths up, when I noticed that there were a lot on the ceiling of one room. I was disgusted.

Stacy helped battle the buggers and clean up when she eyed the 10# bag of wild bird seed in the corner of the room where they appeared most. We'd found the source, and threw the bag outside.
