One thing I enjoy on the weekends is watching the birds at my bird feeders. If you feed birds you know how much they eat. It can get costly, but the rewards out weigh the cost. These were today's visitors. Its snowing today so the pictures are hazy.
This is the hairy woodpecker. Loves suet and occasionally I find him pecking at the siding of my house. (not a good sound)
Here are Eastern Blue Birds, they also love the suet.
One bird I really enjoy is the Cardinal, I have males and females, I have 5 to 6 daily. They are always in the yard somewhere. They love sunflower seeds.
I wanted to remove this lilac tree from my yard because the winter storms have destroyed most of it, but the cardinals love it so I'm torn about removing it. Birds love thicket.
