This is a continuation of Characters at my Bird Feeder. I offer photos and videos of birds that frequent my North Carolina bird feeder. Part 1 can be found at this
link.
Tufted Titmice, Carolina Chickadees, and a pair of Brown-headed Nuthatch are featured in the above video. A White-throated Sparrow also perches on the feeder. I believe White-throats prefer to feed from the ground, but snow and ice prompted this behavior.

The perches on my Droll Yankee birdfeeder seem awkward
for the larger Cardinals. Years past with other feeders, I had more
Cardinal activity. However, there is a pair that can be counted on for a
quick daily visit.

Prolific
breeders. Families as large as 7 descend on the feeder and clean it out. They
discourage the other birds by sitting on the feeder and pecking away
newcomers.

These birds herald the coming of winter with a regular October arrival. They are not feeder
birds, but will pick up dropped seeds. They feed in groups and exhibit a
stunning variety of gray, charcoal, and black coloring.

Light cocoa-colored caps on these birds enchanted me from first sight. They make very quick visits to the feeder just grabbing a seed and eating out of sight. The video below shows one of these speedy trips. A Cardinal, Chickadee, and Tufted Titmouse are also in the video.
