Zeke made a bird feeder in Scouts last summer and thus started our adventure in feeding birds. For a while we had our feeder in the wrong place and were feeding a mouse instead (yikes!), but after we got the feeder moved to a better place we started seeing feathered friends. The first few times Zeke saw birds feeding, he said "Hey there neighbor!" and from then forward we have referred to the birds as our 'neighbors'.
Most of what we saw through the summer and fall were finches.
We also got 2 other feeders for Christmas and since then our bird population has really grown!
We've seen goldfinches,
and a really pretty pair of flickers,
and juncos (love these ground feeders),
and starlings,
and adorable downy woodpeckers
and my favorite, the chickadees.
