The birds here have not gotten a lot of attention during the past month. The feeder looked mighty lonely this morning. I set off to change the situation, very carefully going out to the feeder with my new knee. Hulled black oil sunflower seeds, dried mealworms, and raisins. The birds heard me call as I was filling the feeder and by the time I carefully got back inside they were busy getting their fill.

Chickadees, Tufted Titmice, Cardinals, White-breasted Nuthatches, Juncos, White-throated Sparrows, Song Sparrows. Maybe others? All delighted with a new supply of yummies.

Just one that I know of, that as always, ignores the feeder but did come to the bird bath. A place they love to visit. Just one this morning, a Hermit Thrush (Catharus guttatus).

A bird that gives me pleasure to have come visit during the winter months.
