Photo Study Of Some Feeder Birds At Peace Valley Park, Bucks County, PA, November 17th, 2010

    During the past week, I have been able to photograph some "feeder birds" at the Peace Valley Park Bird Blind in Bucks County. Alas, there were no rarities among them.
    So, just in case some folks might be disappointed seeing so many "usual" birds, I've added two very special "feeder birds", the male Allen's Hummingbird from Lititz
    (Lancaster County) and the female Rufous Hummingbird that was at Fountain Hill (Lehigh). However, to this old picture-taker, all these birds, rare or not, are beautiful.

    Also, you may not be aware, but the Peace Valley Park Nature Center has been conducting a major research program during the past two years. They have been studying
    the effectiveness of "squirrel-proof" bird feeders. Preliminary results have shown that the two feeders seen below are by far the very best:
