Littel Birds Need Attention

Feeding the birds in the midst of chilly winter weather like we are having this weekend is a very rewarding hobby. I have four seed feeders going and the backyard birds are happy as can be. This Varied Thrush is a bit of a hog.

He is bigger than the other visitors, which are typically the juncos, towhees,nut hatches and finches. They all line up on the fence and take their turns. Mr. Thrush hangs out in the shrubs and bushes and gets the spillage as well.

Of course the Annas hummingbirds need attention too, and we have two feeders going for them.

I feel lucky that the snow decided to come on a weekend when I am at home and can tend to the feeders and enjoy the show they put on for us all day.
