Today I put out a few more feeders.
I picked up a couple smaller ones at the dollar store.
Fixed my finch feeder and one of the older feeders the squirrel had annihilated.
Added more seed to the tray feeders on the gas grill.
Filled the water/bird bath trays. Even scrubbing all the algae out of the larger bath - my sinuses are thanking me for that one - but so were the birds, as it was nearly dried out and really smeggy.
Put the plants out for some sun. (since el Sol graced us with his presence for short bursts throughout the day - no where near the 70f+ and sunny predicted by both the local weather stooges or the weather channel.)
Today some new winged friends came to partake at the feeders, including: the Blue Jays above (at least eight!!!, if not more - a record for my yard for sure, as I've only ever seen one at a time, and even that is rare), 2 Woodpeckers, and some Finches with orange-ish-pink breasts. (I managed to capture some of them in action.) Some of the regs were back as well. The sounds of them singing, along with seeing them flitting about and feeding made for a really nice view as I worked in the house and kitchen.
