Most people rush off to the supermarket at the first mention of snow. Not me, who needs more milk and eggs? I rushed off to Wild Birds Unlimited to be sure that I had enough provisions for my winter birds. I love watching them in the yard and I enjoy their chittering and chattering so much that I wanted to ensure that they had enough food for the impending storm. I filled the bird feeder that sits in our tiny backyard, hoping that if there are any birds in our neighbors' trees that they will find their way to my feeder.
The finch feeder does not get much use in the colder months, but just in case any of my little friends are around, I wanted them to have plenty of food. This is my favorite feeder. It sits right at my kitchen window so that I can keep an eye on my bright yellow upside down eaters during the spring and summer.
The red bird feeder was moved out from its spot in the evergreens and placed right near the bird bath and the metal chimes in the weeping cherry. Most of our winter birds nest in the evergreens and many times they splash themselves in the birdbath and then perch atop the weeping cherry to dry.
Finally, I purchased a new feeder that holds a seed "log" sort of thing. I love the way it looks with its two perches, one on either side.
Our new feeder is nestled in the evergreens and I am hoping that my little feathered friends enjoy the switch up in their diet.
From my kitchen window, I can see three feeders in my side yard. I am hoping that this will attract more birds and offer the winged visitors a respite from the storm.
