So tell me about this bird cam you got Marta, or was it really for Steve?

Yesterday was cold and overcast. These are our first photos from this year.

Thanks for sharing.

Hope you are doing well today.

I was babysitting a sick grandchild all day. Third grade. She loved "The Blues Brothers" We had a pizza delivered. Spent the day on the couch with her.

OS

Hope she feels better! I'm sure the pizza helped.

You can see little spots of pink in the top photo on the sides of the Orioles.

I had mentioned a few months before that I missed the Bleeding Hearts from my childhood. Mom loved them. She had a row of them right up until she died. She had the same address and phone for 60 years. She was mad when her bank was bought and changed her account #.

Madison went back to school today.

Mix like crazy and pour (or push) into large plastic containers, freeze in the grocery bags you get in the produce section. Take out a bag and break it with a hammer on your garage floor,and put large pieces into metal suet cages sold in stores. This goes over big with woodpeckers, robins, grackles, redwings, and it's taking me broke.

Most of the birds were born here and their moms fed them this stuff last years..

We have five feeders just for grape jelly. We get the Welchs natural because we doesn't have any CFS.

The night feeders get a jar of cranberry relish on the ground level every night. After Christmas we buy up all we can get on clearance all over town. It is for the possums, raccoons, groundhogs, etc.

This is great!

two pheasants, wild turkey and a raccoon, plus numerous birds. lovely photos.

and sorry this shouldn't be entered in this thread.....love your photos.
