Birds In Our Feeder

So here we are trying to figure out what kind of birds we have around our house. We have several bird books and a couple pair of binoculars. This bottom one has us unsure. We think it is one of many warblers. The Grackles seem to have finally moved on. There are so many of them.

Speaking of birds.. Our two resident ducks at the chicken pen kept flying in and out of the pen. Well, the neighbor's dog finally got the male cornered and killed him. This was a couple of weeks ago. This Saturday my son brought home a replacement drake. I hope he assimilates okay. I think he is older than our other one. So it falls on Sis and I to clip their wings. Don't want to loose any more.

Oh.. we gathered 8 eggs today. Pretty good for youngsters. So each hen laid one egg. Jay, my youngest, said he only got 5 each day over the weekend. He said he told them he could either eat eggs, or chickens. Guess they listened. Sis and I gather and feed weekdays and Jay gathers and feeds on the weekend. We gave 8 to middle son last Thursday and now have accumulated so many that we will have to give some more away to someone.
