New birds!

[colliemommie]

I just saw a pair of house finches at the birdfeeder. I am way too excited!!

So now we've seen robins, wrens, sparrows, goldfinches, house finches, cardinals, sapsuckers, some shiny black birds I don't recognize, and one very persistent wild turkey. I love this backyard!

No Eastern bluebirds though, which surprises me. Maybe I've just missed them, or there isn't a local pair at the moment. There always has been before.

Shiny black birds = starlings?

I've finally resoved to just put food out in my window feeders again. The pigeons discovered the fallen food last year and then decided to take up roosting under our eaves and pooping all over the house. Hopefully they have forgotten because I miss feeding my birds!

Possibly! ;-)

We do seem to be turning into quite a popular dining venue. The rate we go through bird seed is ridiculous.
