It hasn't taken a shot at a bird yet when I have been watching - they definitely have attitude - pretty cool.

Ours is at 3 shots 1kill,as far as I know.The kill that I saw was actually a pigeon out in the road in front of our house.Definitely the same bird though.

We also have a fish pond in the yard too.The combo of feeders and pond make for some great watching.

First sighting today for what I believe are Winter Wrens. Up to 13 different types of birds so far. Want to add some hummingbird action this spring.
