I have had enough of this %#&@& winter.

I have been feeding the birds this year too. Hubby made some feeders. I am tiring into attract blue birds. I got the worms and those round pellets I think it peanut butter, the guy at the store said they love it It very hard to get blue birds to your house. I also have heated water for them. My idea is if I get a few blue birds to my house maybe I can be happy again. Blue bird of happiness....and there's also blue birds around pictures of rainbows. Pretty pathetic but I it's a goal.

My wife was thrilled when she saw her first "bluebird"! I did not have the heart to tell her it was a Blue Jay...

But we have had some real cool birds show up at our feeders - we have a pair of Cardinals that visit every day, we were visited the other day by a Redpoll Finch, a bunch of Golden Finches stop by daily, about a half dozen Turtle Doves are hanging out and we've see a fair number of Nuthatches. And the million or so Sparrows that crowd everything else out...
