A Free Lunch







Hubby feeds the birds regularly in our backyard.  He puts out sunflower hearts, thistle and peanuts. It is fun to see all the birds that come.  We get cardinals and blue jays, chickadees and gold finches, nuthatches and three different types of woodpeckers and of course, sparrows and mourning doves. Now in the winter we also get juncos. Occasionally we get a flicker and a few days ago I saw a tufted titmouse.  Apparently it is also a free lunch for a hawk which we have seen four times
in the last few weeks. Once with a sparrow that didn't dive deep enough into the yews.

We feed the birds too. We have loved watching the giant blue jay eat the peanuts! I also got a bird bath de-icer this week from Amazon so they have water.
