Hmmm feeders still have lots of seed in them............... I saw a couple sparrows this AM, but they were not at the feeders. We'll see. Too dark now for activity.

Sparrows on the ground, near the two feeders with the fishing wire, not on the feeders. One feeder without the wire had a couple of sparrows on it. To be continued...

Have had to stop feeding the birds for a while. My back is all "messed up" and I just cannot fill the feeders and keep water in the fountain for them. I really miss them and hope I can put them back up soon. Sigh.

So sorry to hear this, Darlene. Hope you get relief soon. I know how much you and your +1 enjoy your feathered friends.

It is on the mend. I've had some days of frustration, but getting better. Just one of those things and I've had to eliminate certain things until I'm certain it has healed. Thanks Jim and Lainey.

On the mend is good. All better is great.... backs take time to heal.

A noteworthy article regarding bird feeding responsibilities on today's About Home website, but we already knew this…right?
