It's time to feed the Dinosaurs..
I like putting out some bird seed on my balcony just outside the window where I work on my computer.
I'm always surprised just how many different types of birds show up.
Some of these birds were photographed through a window so the clarity is diminished a little.

The European Starling above usually shows up in groups of 4 or 5 birds just like the Blue Jays.
Other Birds that showed up this winter were: Crow, Dove, Cardinals and another bird with a red stripe on its head called a Gila Woodpecker.
I also have an American Robin show up from time to time, but for some reason the Robin does not seem interested in the bird seed.
I witnessed a lot more birds in 2003 and 2004. There is definitely less birds now in 2011. Bird Migration (Wiki)
A Squirrel usually stops by for a short time to nibble on the bird seed too. I also see a family of Deer walk by every now and then.
A saw a Fox and hear his eerie barking now and then. I also saw a Groundhog, Raccoon, Turkey Vultures and a Skunk at different times.
Down the road from my house I also saw a Wild Turkey crossing the street one day.
Another day at Tarrywile Park I saw a Hawk. And then there are the Crows.
On August 9, 2011 I saw a large blue and white bird on my balcony that was either a hawk or a falcon.
Probably looking for small birds eating at the bird feeder. After it flew away I did not hear or see any birds for a while, running scared I assume.
