At our feeders I've categorized the birds by how they eat.
We have the take out or grab and go: Titmice and black cap chickadees;
The casual diners you might see once in awhile; wrens, finches, black birds, and wood thrasher;
We have those that come, sit long enough to eat, and then leave: cardinals, blue jays, and red bellied woodpeckers;
and then those who think the feeders are all-you-can-eat buffets, linger around often overstaying their welcome: Doves
One in a class of its own ....... the bullies: Mockingbirds who don't like to share with others and guards the food from a distance even when not hungry.
One of our normal take-out visitors actually decided to sit and eat this morning giving me a chance to take several photos as he enjoyed his breakfast.
