The sign belongs to the Canadian Wildlife Services - which I guess explains why they wanted to use the image..haha.. I sent them a low res proof and then a high resolution image for print, but they ended up using the low res image for some reason, as the image is pixelated. D'oh!

At first I thought it looked like either a Lazuli Bunting or Western Bluebird, but the shape of its beak is too long to be those birds....I have no idea what it is...curious...

Yup, they're huge. They spoke easily. There are a few around my place but never been able to get close to them.

They poke holes with their beaks and get the peanuts out. They've been doing it for years. That feeder gets refilled every 3 weeks if not less. The Chickadee's and Stellar Jay's love it. The Junco's, not so much but they get the little pieces that fall down or go back to their seed feeder. The holes are quite big. I can stick my pinky and ring finger through them.
