we love feeding the birds....and the squirrels.

with yesterday being so cold, our feeder was FULL of birds and sqirrels. i will try to get a picture today and post it. i LOVE blue jays. they are so beautiful with their colors next to the yucky brown grass.

what is your favorite bird??

We feed them all the time. With our weather in the extreme cold and lots of snow now, they huddle at our bird feeder all day long.

I love the little Chickadees. They just have such personalities and you can always watch and find the dominant ones. I like Blue Jays too. As soon as they come around though, all the other birds leave until the Blue Jays have had their feed.

We are putting food out, but I haven't seen much bird activity yet. I suspect they eat when all the other animals are in the house. We can't see our feeder from inside

Dh got a bird feeder for his birthday. We love to feed the birds...now the squirrels...we can do without (they wreak havoc if they get into your attic...you just can't imagine the damage they do......!).

I took down my thistle sock and they all left. I refilled my other feeder, but I have no idea if they'll be back. I haven't seen even one.

Guess they're pretty mad over the thistle sock.

I feed them too. I think my favorite is the little nuthatch, she's just adorable hanging upside down on the tree. We also have cardinals, titmice, chickadees, blue jays, 3 kinds of woodpeckers, juncos, mourning doves, house finches, sparrows, goldfinches, and once in a while a wren. We have cedar waxwings pass through every year and last year we had bluebirds (I thought they always went south but they stayed all last winter, they are gone this year though, wonder how they knew it was going to be sooo cold). We bought a feeder that guarantees no squirrels. I saw a squirrel yesterday and was waiting for him to try out the feeder but he never went up to it. I was disappointed; I wanted to see if my guarantee was any good

We feed the birds, we get alot of cardinals, and we love them!

We have large bushes in the back edge of the yard and when the bright white snow against the bright red cardinal, and even the females, not so bright are beautiful! One time we had 17!!

DH also feed the squirels and bunnies. Partly DH loves to watch Trixie, our Jack Russel change, the squirels...

I'm constantly filling our feeder. This morning I couldn't believe all the birds that were out there. I love to sit on the porch and watch the birds while sipping a cup of tea.
