Birds!

We now have a steady stream of birds at our feeder. When we put it up, it took a while for the birds to find it. The first was a huge blue jay, followed by flocks of little brown birds I can't identify. They still are around quite a bit, but we also have a small flock of chickadees as regular visitors. Then there is the pair of cardinals. The female was first, but now she seems to have a mate, or at least a hopeful hanging around in her general vicinity.


Benjamin loves the birds and squeals with delight whenever he sees them, which is frequently whenever he looks out the living room window. There are flocks of them in the tree by our front porch almost constantly. There is the occasional squirrel in the tree, but I haven't actually seem them on the porch, let alone the feeder. Perhaps they are intimidated by how the birds outnumber them.
