We have had hours of pleasure since we placed the small bird feeder on the back deck. I picked it up at Get the Jump on Spring, and we gave it a home at the beginning of March.
Our other feeder is about twenty five feet from the back kitchen window, while this one is just ten feet away from our dining room chairs. As long as there are seeds and the cat is indoors, there is a constant flow of visitors.
It is maddening to see the squirrels and their pole dancing. Greedy creatures gobbling up the seeds intended for cardinals, nuthatches, chickadees and sparrows.
Most of our backyard birds are familiar, but some send us on a search, like the wood pecker (downy or hairy?), or the white-breasted nuthatch that arrived with a showy flutter of wings.
The cat watches with interest from behind the glass, and fortunately hasn't been stealthy enough outdoors to catch any birds.
