Miri and I recently purchased what Bill calls a "bird diner". We are having so much fun! So far we've identified 13 backyard birds. We have our favorites and our not so favorites. Our favorites are the House Finches because they come to the feeder together every time- "Husband and Wife" as Miri says. The Cardinals are precious because the husband feeds the wife! The Red-Winged Blackbird is beautiful but a bully. Every time he comes to our yard he swoops down with a rather dramatic show of strength- scaring everyone away expect maybe the crows who seem oblivious.

Any suggestions on how to make our bird watching even more fun? Feel free to post here or email me!
