"I noticed four deer eating in the woods right behind my back yard. They were about 20 to 25 yards from the window. Suddenly, a tufted titmouse flew on the back of one of the deer and started hurriedly harvesting hair from the back of the deer. The deer didn’t do a thing and the titmouse stuffed its mouth with as much hair as it could. It did this for about 4 minutes." Gary Mueller, Rolla, Missouri |
"We were eating Thanksgiving dinner when my niece saw this Downy Woodpecker looking in the door. I thought to myself, "interesting, I suppose he is counting." Tom Lawson, Dallas County, Iowa |

 Feeding Tips
 |
 |
| "Anna's Hummingbird, during a rather unusual five days of temperatures below 30 degrees F.... We rigged up this feeder using a flat "foil" coil, made to keep non-frozen water available to birds during the winter. We set up the coil in a clay saucer and set the feeder on top." Nancy Fraser, Portland, Oregon |
| "This photo shows how I keep my bird feed a little drier." Richard Strange, Cave City, Kentucky |
 |
"As you can see from this photo I have had problems with squirrels. They slide down the wire, climb over the bottles, tip the dome, and deftly avoid the spring loaded perching bar to gobble up the sunflower seed in the feeder. But the addition of the piece of hardware cloth over the dome has them baffled...so far. It's been a month since I have seen a squirrel on the feeder." Mrs. Frances H. Berg, Troy, New York |
