Birdfeeding

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today is cloudy, chilly, and wet.  It rained last night, off and on today too.

I fed the birds.  I've seen a mixed flock of sparrows and house finches, a male cardinal, and a downy woodpecker.

EDIT 12/31/24 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

I put out a fresh peanut suet cake.

I am done for the night.

Evergreens make great winter shelter.

>> The birds around here don't seem to like suet. They will devour black oil sunflower seeds and peanuts.<<

Huh. Local tastes do vary. Sunflower and peanut are good high-energy foods too.

>> It's frosty, but the real cold is still to come, usually later in January. (Hopefully not down to -40...) <<

Yeah, that is seriously cold.
