A Great Crested Cormorant comes in for a landing on a post to observe the pond, and possibly look for dinner?

Re: All About Nyjer Seed » Watching Backyard Birds.com

How can I separate nyler seeds from hulls finshes kick out? They toss out so much expensive seed along with the hulls of the seeds they have eaten. How can I separate them so I can return the still whole seeds back into the feeder?

Re: A House Finch with Puffy Eyes is at My Birdfeeder. What Should I Do?

We had some cases of what I think was avian trichomonosis here this summer in central NY. Are you hearing anything about that? My understanding is that even the hawks can get it from consuming infected song birds.

I have experienced this when a house wren punctured 5 blue bird eggs last spring in our blue bird box. Then I hung out a wren box by the trees and he got busy filling it and left the bluebirds alone and they successfully raised another brood!
