We got the snow...the still falling leaving white on the ground not melting kinda snow. I put bird seed on my lawn by my patio each morning and the birds know its there and are pecking through the snow to get at it. We are not supposed to have bird feeders or leave a lot of bird seed out as it attracts vermin, but I throw a couple of handfuls on the grass each morning so the birds can eat. Yesterday I had blue jays, cardinals, juncos and chickadees, mourning doves and a hairy woodpecker all stop by.
Kathy, I am glad your daughter is helping you and that you get to have quiet time to yourself.
Willow, your kookaburra has a wonderful view and I think I saw him wave at us foll across the pond.
Being the bird lover I am, I had to look them up and listen to them, I love their laughter-like calls.
