@on the bay  Let us all know what happens with the catbird and mockingbird vs. raisins.  Who is more dominant?  Here the catbird dominates over the sparrows, yet the catbird seems to be intimidated by the Robin. There is also a crow with a damaged foot and he will take all the cranberries and/or raisins. All are intimidated by him, he is a big one! I also put out raw sunflower seeds with the berries, the sparrows are more interested in seeds. The little bunny and squirrel seem to be ok and the birds still come around, bunny and squirrel not intimidated and birds don't seem to be afraid of the mammals. Bunny and squirrel like berries and seeds. 

I am able to get 23oz bags of cranberries at Safeway for $5; use for me and the birds. Have fun!

@ScarletDove  that is so awesome.  The first one, years ago.... I saw I thought as a big bee.

We have 3 hummingbird feeders at our TV room window.  It's a crazy time, dive bombing each other, sometimes sharing a feeder.  Some are so tiny.  I never thought some may be a baby.
