I got some cool new garden stuff for Christmas, which made me want to hang all my bird feeders out Here's a few of the visitors I had. The squirrels will eat up all the seeds if I don't open the door occasionally and let Blizzard out to chase them! I keep hanging the purple feeder farther out on the branch, but they apparently don't weigh that much more than birds, or don't care if they're hanging precariously as long as they're scoring food!
The welcome guests include chickadees, which came in full force and for some reason, remind me of childhood winters in Maine. We also have several female cardinals and a few woodpeckers. The woodpeckers are colorful against all the brown of the other birds. Looks like I'll have to buy a book to help identify the ones I'm not familiar with. Meanwhile, it's fun watching through the big breakfast nook window and trying to capture a really good photo. Birds move so quickly...
