I scrolled past this, into the horror show, and then some part of my brain said, "Why would you pass up free wisdom from Misty?" So I came back. That part of my brain doesn't get paid enough.

Bright yellow bird with dark wing, two white bars on the wing. It is perched on a metal tray. It has a worm in its mouth.
The bluebirds aren't eating their worms, but the Pine Warbler is happy to do so. He is carrying out, not dining in, so he must have babies nearby.
(Sorry for the steep angle. I was on the ground when he came by.)

Poking out from a hole in the side of a barn-shaped feeder is the head of a small bird, brown with a white stripe over the eye. It's mouth is full of worms.
After the Cardinals and Mockingbirds started poaching the worms from the bluebird feeder, I upgraded to a barn-shaped feeder that keeps them out. It still doesn't stop the Carolina #Wren.

Small brown bird with a white belly, and a white stripe over the eye. It is perched on the rim of a blue glazed bird bath. There are two large rocks in the bird bath, also a solar powered fountain, and a floating glass goldfish.
Now the bird is bent down, drinking the water.
After weeks of distrust, the #birds have finally accepted my bird bath. (Carolina #Wren).

Alt text for previous photo: A hundred or so small flowers. Each one has many thin white petals and a yellow center.
I forgot to post a wide shot of the Daisy #Fleabane, and I would not want the HOA to miss out, so here it is.
