Got a few more pics of some of the birds and animals in the garden. It is like Heathrow Airport with all the birds coming and going and at the moment the garden resembles a zoo. As I type we have three rabbits, about six chipmunks, three squirrels and lots of birds running around.
This is the chipmunk getting onto the bird feeder, then struggling to get to one of the higher openings.
This is the female Towhee who is brown whereas the male (previous post) is black.
And a grackle
Female grosbeak
As today was a holiday in Canada we decided to take a walk along the waterfront in Belleville. Although it was bright and sunny it was on the cool side with the temps only reaching 12C, but it was still lovely.
Here is a pic of the bridge which goes from Belleville to Prince Edward County.
And some more of the waterfront area.
Last night I happened to be looking out of the window into the garden when I spotted the male grosbeak and his wife. Then I noticed another male and then another on the feeder. This is the first time we have spotted more than one male at the same time. So now we know we have at least three males and two females although I suspect we have three pairs. They all seemed to get on okay with each other, no bickering etc.
In this pic you will see two males in the tree and one on the feeder with one female also in the tree.
Here are the two males and one female.
And the third male on the feeder.
They all have slightly different red chest markings.
