It’s still bird season but winding down.  Menards had 40 lb bags of bird food for $10 at clearance which means the birds should be able to forage for their own food soon.  I stocked up for next season.

There’s a family of Cardinals down the street and they stop by every now and then.  They can’t figure out how to fly onto the suspended bird feeder.  This little Cardinal is picking seeds from the ground like a common pigeon.

Still too cold to do anything garden related so here’s another bird.

This feeder has metal fixtures so it may last longer.

The veranda becomes a bird feeder in the winter. The blue suspension truss supports 3 tube feeders and 1 hopper.  Birds from all around eat away at pound after pound of bird food.
