A sparrow on my backyard efeeder. I’ve finally figured out how to not feed squirrels. Habanero flavored bird food and safflower seeds seem to do the trick.

Hello Yogi,
What a great variety of wildlife photos. I love all the birds, the Bluebird is a favorite.
Love the cute turtle and your sweet Lizzy.
Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, enjoy your day and happy weekend.
…your bluebird is special, I rarely see them.
Turtles are cute, people have them here as pets, have a great weekend.
wonderful sightings!! i think birdwatching is so peaceful…filled with so much joy when you are able to capture a snapshot and save it forever!!
The bluebird is indeed very handsome, and your trick for keeping the squirrels away is a clever.
I don’t think I could use that bird seed.
“Mammals, like gray squirrels, react to capsaicin, which evokes a pain-like sensation of burning and pain (we all know that feeling whenever we eat something too spicy for us to handle). ”
I throw out peanuts to keep the squirrels busy.
You have to be careful you don’t get it on your hands. I think of little squirrels getting it in their eye.

The bluebird is lovely!
I find squirrels entertaining and love to feed them along with the birds, but that is just me. It is so lovely that you have Bluebirds. They used to nest in a nest box I provided until House Sparrows took over. Now no bluebirds. Lizzy looks extremely comfortable.
Cats look so cute when they curl their paws!
I do like the Eastern Bluebird, and always a joy to see the Cardinal.
