[Jeff18]

Haven't posted in a while, and haven't been out a whole lot. Caught this fellow visiting the feeder and scoring a suet ball.

That's one pretty looking bird, I presume you are not from the UK as I have never heard of a red bellied one before

Very common bird in North America. I got a great shot in Miami of one!

Thank you! I'm located in North Texas, just north of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.

Thank you! It's hard to get a shot of them, so I was pleasantly surprised when it showed up at the feeder. Comes back rather frequently, so I'll probably get more chances.

Wonderful shot. That's a posh feeder

Thank you! The cage on the outside drops to cover the holes if a squirrel gets on it, to deter it from stealing all the food.
