Artist Changes The Backdrop Of Her Birdhouse To Transform The Narrative Of How We View Art.
Hey! Thanks for posting! The most common by far for me were Grackles. I was really hoping for a red cardinal for the Cardinal Portrait but the squirrel showed up instead (which was cool in it's own way). Morning Doves and Bluejays came an the occassional small brown ones (??). I'd like to try it again with small sculptures maybe? Do you have a link where I can see yours?
I haven't posted any, but maybe I should. Are you in the northeast USA? Small brown ones are probably finches. Consider a trail camera. Every few days you can take the memory stick out and see all the other animals that come around. Squirrels and chipmunks enjoy the food on the ground. The birds also provide hours of entertainment for our cats. Cardinals, robins, and blue jays are rare, but we see them occasionally. Also set up a hummingbird feeder, but unfortunately they haven't been in my area in years.
Load More Replies... I set up a trail camera at my bird feeder. After finches, Mourning Doves were the next most common. After we switched to a seed for parakeets, the Common Grackle (the black bird in some of your photos I believe) stopped coming around. This was a good thing b/c the finches, Mourning Doves, and the occasional Blue Jay all got along with each other, but the Common Grackle was a bully who gobbled up all the food fast and annoyed the other species. I enjoyed your photos.
