The Ozeri kitchen scale is quite accurate down to a tenth of a gram, I have calibrated it with a scientific 50 gram weight. The scale fluctuates a little bit as the birds maneuver around the feeding bowl. Today I got Charlie 41.7 grams, Bessie 49.7 - 51.5

After they departed I watched Charlie feed a peanut bite to Bessie in the bush, he is the best.

The local sparrows have discovered my pebble fountain, and are thoroughly enjoying themselves.

I'm really enjoying watching them too.

Over the past couple of weeks a female summer tanager has been hanging out in the backyard, she is fond of the apricots! I know she leaves our area soon (The Woodlands, TX), but it’s been so nice listening to her “pit-a-tuck” calls and watching her footage on the bird cams!

I hope we get a pair to nest in the green space behind our house next Spring! #summertanager

One of my favorite backyard visitors, he always finds the best grub in that tree! The best restaurant in town!🤌🏾 #redbelliedwoodpecker

Excuse my potty mouth at the beginning, but this guy got himself a nice, juicy bug from the tree at the end!
