Before breakfast i look after the birds. Peanuts fot the waiting jays, sunflower seeds for the finches. Suet mix for the chickadees, nuthatches and the woodpeckers, berries for the robins and the thrushes and also those others that fancy a bit of fruit and change the hummingbird feeders that are frozen. After breakfast I have to get to the frozen water dishes, all 6 of them. Busy, busy, busy. It is worth the effort though as the birds do let me get close with the camera. Here is a purple finch female, they don't get photographed as often as the males. Purple finch, female. ( photo / image / picture from Kildale's Garden )
With minus temperatures here I know my birds love the variety of foods I put out for them. Isn't it good to know that, without our help, some of these birds wouldn't make it through the winter?
What the birds won't do for a bribe. You are letting your trade secrets out. Camera in one hand, and food in the other eh? I will have to try that. Jerry
