Welcome to YOUR WBU website.
As northward migration continues, our summer residents are settling in to raise their families. We have had many reports of baby Ladder-backed woodpeckers feeding suet and bark butter to their young. Watch for lots of "no-tails" (what we like to call baby birds because the tail seems to be the last to develop) flapping their wings, begging for food from exhausted parents.
Remember, young birds just out of the nest are often the same size as their parents. Customers' robins are busy gobbling up dried cherries and especially like a sprinkling of dried mealworms on the top of the fruit. We have had reports of "spotty chested" baby robins at bird-baths and the fruit.
The beautiful Black-headed Grosbeaks and orioles have arrived to spend the summer. These birds often confuse customers. If you see a black and orange bird at your seed feeder or cylinder, it is most likely a grosbeak. Orioles don't normally eat seed, but they do love nectar fed from an oriole feeder.
So, continue to enjoy the "tail" end of migration season and all the excitement summer can bring to your backyard.
From all of us at your WBU store and Lucy (the store cat and boss)
Lucy says "Meow"! Translation = Thank You!
