Dining Downy by olivetreeann

Dining Downy

I had a major project to work on Wednesday, so the pictures I took had to be quick. I noticed my little Downy dining on the suet feeder while I was fixing lunch. Thankfully he was too busy eating to be bothered by the camera!
He has a nice lot of food there to enjoy - see you have managed to fill the feeder!

@maggiemae Thanks Maggie! I have to fill it every three to four days about. I make my own suet- an inexpensive recipe which I modified from a friend's recipe. The birds don't seem to mind!
@dakotaburns Thanks Donald! I have Hairys, Red-Bellied, Nuthatches, and more that love to nibble on this one.

Great capture. HE looks like he is trying to hide from you.

acrobatic as well as great looking downy - some of the colors in the feeder match the leaves in the background - great choice of the mirror frame!

Great timing.....love the candid view of the bird munching on the seed and those beautiful background colors. Excellent!

Thank you Diane, Nicole, Carole, Dione, and Bev! Those splashes of orange in the background are oak leaves still hanging on in the winter. Some of these trees never lose the dead leaves until the new ones come out in Spring. It's like they don't want to be naked!

Lovely shot - love the colours in the background too

@filsie65 Thanks Phil- not too much color survives around here in the winter but these leaves forget that they are dead and keep hanging on. They act as a symbol of hope that color will return soon.

Very beautiful, a lovely capture. This reminds me, I need to fill my feeders :-)

@vposey Thank you Vickie- I always chuckle at myself for being so worried when the seed goes down. Do I really think the birds won't find food if I don't have it in the feeder? lol
