Is that a cannonball?
   Like the pic of the sparrow in mid air. ALso like the Hawk..   Looks like someone modified the boat anchor to dig in a little better!

yes I have been told by my bride that I have too many birdhouses. I did thin out the swallow houses though.  I still have one pair that comes back to the bluebird house every June and I let that stand.

That sixth pic looks like a prairie falcon to me.  When they come, the other birds disappear.  I've seen the prairie falcon kill and carry some good sized birds.....strong fliers.  The Falcon is US Air Force Academy's mascot.  :)

Enjoyed your pics!
