CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@donray Yeah!

@donray Doesn't seem to bother the squirrels any You can get de-thorned varieties. I ran into some years ago before I knew what they are. Found their characteristic seed pods on the ground and wanted to know what the tree was. They didn't have any thorns. Were located by a city owned water tower I was working at...

@donray See what you think after some photo editing...I'm thinking Red-bellied

@anakin78z Same. They must fly in from the south.

@donray Nice Took this at a local park many years ago. There is a creek running through it and a LOT of Blue Bells in the flood plain.When you get flowers, watch for Bumble Bees scissoring in from the back. They can't reach the nectar from the front of the flower. "Nectar thief" is the nickname I learned for such behavior. Flower doesn't get pollinated when this is done.

@donray They are often up high in a fully leaved tree. So you kinda need patience and binoculars for a good view. Which I rarely have with me I recently bought one of these little jobbers. Kinda pricey but has decent optics. The focus is touchy, but expected that after reading reviews. Works decent with my glasses on/off and can close focus really well too.Was hoping the small size would behove me to bring it along more often for such occasions...https://www.amazon.com/Opticron-T4-Trailfinder-8x25-Monocular/dp/B074ZDZZ4J/

@donray suet is always accepted!!!

@Repisa Sí, lo son! La combinación de colores de la hembra siempre me gusta. Me parece especial, única.
