We had an Eastern Bluebird show up today. A couple Starlings (hate them) have been here too.

Crappy photo due to sun, snow, and glare but we had several Bluebirds taking a bath and then a bunch of Finches joined in. Considering it is 21° that would be a really cold bath.

The Robins have been hanging around every day and spend a good share of it on the bird bath drinking all the water they can as that's what they substitute for food when they can't find it. If there are any nuts around our house they last long enough for the birds.

Donna dumps out the old water every single day - they like to shit in too - and puts in clean water.

The snow is melting and there must be five pounds of seed on the ground!

Yep, happens every thaw and spring. Hopefully we have most of the dog poop up because we try to catch it daily but seeds, no can do. Its either a bucket and shovel or leaf blower and usually both. Still the enjoyment is worth the work.

I'm hoping the deer will eat most of it. They stop by every day and most nights.

Deer have never done clean up for us. Not when there's green bushes nearby.

Same here. They show up on my security camera about 3:00 most mornings.
