Wordless Wednesday - Venturing In

The squirrels haven't been around a lot these last few months so, I brought in one of the feeders when I was topping them off last week. I had this one sitting on a table on the veranda, waiting for a warmer day when it wasn't raining, to set it out again.

 

I took the boys out this morning and spotted this sweet little guest who had ventured onto the veranda from a small space at the bottom of the screened door. He was enjoying the warmer, dryer, private feast before him!

Happy Wednesday!

We keep the feeders filled but, the squirrels are not around much during the winter - especially the last two. It's been colder than normal here so we don't see many of them at all during the winter. Another reason to look forward to the spring months, Will Hamm!

Great photo of the little bird and I am sure he was happy to have it all to himself... for now that is.

Thanks, Rebecca Gaujot, Realtor®! Another benefit of always having your phone in your pocket! LOL Isn't he cute? I love bird watching but, it's typically from a bit farther away! ;-)

Morning Debe.

For my wife's birthday present this year one of our sons got her a bird feeder.  Trouble is it hold 20#'s of feed.  Now, we've got to decide how in the world we are going to put it up

Hi Debe.  I hope this little guy (or girl) enjoys the feast and knows the way out when full.

We need to restock our bird feeder. I was watching a beautiful cardinal in bush in our back yard.

OH my gosh, I had no idea they liked naval oranges, Endre Barath, Jr.! How terrible that they go after your trees - how can you keep them away? That's just sad!

20#s is quite a hefty birdfeeder, James Dray - that is definitely going to be hard to hang! And, whatever you hang it on needs to be quite sturdy too. Maybe fill it 1/2 full and keep the other half of the bag for filling later?

We have cardinals all over our backyard and they devour quite a bit of the food in the feeders, Roy Kelley! I snapped this one a couple of days ago.

We always have them but, there are a couple of months that we really have very few of them visiting. I can always tell by how quickly the food goes!

Debe, we do not mind, we have so many that we give away so it is entertaining to see how smart they are that they eat the naval oranges vs the well let's just say "juice oranges":) we do not try to stop them,  we love them:))Endre

p.s.: just a few less that Diane's coworkers get:)))

I had a racoon come into the screened porch once but never had a little bird arrive for dinner!

Hi Debe:

I enjoy feeding the birds and enjoy the variety. They always find the find no matter where, as do the squirrels!
