Birdies

Back at the old place, we used to feed the birdies, especially in the winter. It's taking us a while to get really settled in here. One of the things that got put off was the bird feeding operation.
The Fuzz finally got around to bringing the feeder out a while back. At first he tried putting it near the kitchen window, where we could see it from the table. But this did not work out very well since that was also the area where the cats hung out.
Seeing how that wasn't working out, he moved it back to the edge of the woods, hoping the birds would find it. Eventually they did. The next phase, was to move it closer to the clearing. And then out of the woods. Each time the little birdies recognised it and followed. Finally, he moved it right up to the window again. But this time it was the living room window.
And now we can watch the little things wasting bird seed. This is a shot out of the window. We had a bunch of Goldfinches that day, but no luck with the camera. Now we need to bring out the Bird Book.
