Feeding the Birds

Donna routinely totally cleans the feeders from top to bottom. It really makes a big difference on how much they get used.

Good, the birds will thank you. Speaking of birds we have had light snow off and on today but for some reason we have been swamped all day with birds - - dozens and dozens at a time. Makes me wonder, what do they know? What's coming? At least a dozen squirrels at one time also; and they are out front too.

Had a beautiful robin (I think) fly into one of our large windows over the front door. Unfortunately, it rebounded onto the front walk and sadly died. Usually, they are just stunned for a few minutes and then fly away. Not this time. It really must have been moving. I can understand why it mistook the window for the back yard, since there is a clear view through to the windows in the back of the house.

Dave, the birds do seem to go crazy when the snow flies here too.
Gene, sorry about the robin.

Damn, went to put out one of the recently cleaned and filled feeders this AM and realized I managed to break it while cleaning it. There's a part missing which holds the spring loaded top. Oh well, Amazon to the rescue. I'll have a new one on Sunday. If Rick is looking for a little project, maybe he can find a way to repair the other one and I can keep it around for a spare.

Getting ready for the start of winter. Just dragged in 280 pounds of seeds.

That's a LOT of bird food! My feeders have been quiet. The Blue Jays are show up every day now. They have us trained.
