    My hubby picked up a bird feeder a few days ago (the kind that suction to a glass window, etc) and to entice the birds, he scattered seed in the yard as well. We didn't see any birds for a couple of days, but when we opened the blinds for our Java Finches this morning, we chased off 3 pairs of Cardinals! :stew1: They came right back and it was so neat to watch them so upclose! Eventually there was a variety of birds feeding :D Our girls love to wake up and bird watch now. What a fun morning!

    I love seeing all the birds that my feeding station attracts - couldn't go for a day without checking 'who' is out and about in the garden. So pleased to hear that you are getting a variety of birds to your feeder. You must try to take some piccies of them for us. :stew1:

    I will definitely do that! My cam is all charged up and ready to go, so I'll see what I can find in the morning :D There's just something so nice ~n~ relaxing about drinking your first cuppa-joe and birdwatching first thing in the mornings!

    That would be so nice to see.If I did that I'd have every cat in the neighborhood sitting licking there lips in an attempt to snag a beautiful
    feathered dinner for themselves.

    I love sitting out at the picnic table, in the spring to fall and have my tea and watch the birds at my feeders.
