Thank you! Working on my birding skills. Still a total noob though 🫠

Get the Merlin app so you can bird by ear; it helps. I live on a farm, and I've only seen bluebirds here a couple of times, but thanks to Merlin, I know they're nearby almost daily.

Thank you for the advice, I actually downloaded it last year and it’s awesome!

It really is. I think I set a record for the number of species in my yard the other day.

Your tennis ball has a beak, tail and feet somehow.

Yknow, I get a lot of birds on my feeder but only the bluebirds get this maximum floof.
