My trusty Bird Buddy feeder has been delivering some serious eye candy lately! From flashy visitors to sweet little regulars, here are my favorite shots from the past week in the backyard.

There’s something so peaceful about watching a Mourning Dove take a moment for a snack. While most birds are busy doing acrobatics on hanging feeders, these gentle souls are the ultimate “low-key” diners.
As natural ground feeders, they prefer to keep things down-to-earth—literally! I set this tray up nice and low to the ground to match their natural foraging style, and it looks like the menu is getting a five-star review.
Why the Ground Tray?
Natural Instincts: In the wild, they scour the forest floor for seeds.
Stability: Doves aren’t the most agile “clutchers,” so a flat surface makes them feel right at home.
Variety: Lower trays often attract unique species that you won’t see at your standard hopper.
