Description

Size is in-between robin and crow. Seen throughout spring and summer so far; we’ll see about the dead of winter. Loves eating everything we put out, including but not limited to: suet, walnuts, peanuts, black oil sunflower seeds, birdseed mix, and water. At least four individuals were noticed in this neighbourhood, with a breeding pair in the neighbour’s tree. Aggressive to crows, and hops like Pepé Le Pew from Looney Tunes.
