Some friends gave me a gift of a monstrous bag of safflower seed as a way of pushing me in to finally getting a bird feeder after just talking about it for too long. It worked and I setup a feeder late last week.
I had seen a few fleeting glimpses of visitors since then but none that stuck around – until today.
This guy was chowing down and quite frankly making quite a pig out of himself. 😉 Not a rare or unusual bird but I am looking forward to seeing what other visitors I might have in the future!
