I swear the birds in my yard are so spoiled.

They wait every morning, growing more impatient every hour I’m late, for their feeders to be filled.

Yes feeders. As in multiple.

They already had an oiler feeder, a thistle feeder, a flat feeder and an oriole and/or hummer feeder, depending on the season.

But I follow a bird photographer who just purchased a new feeder that seemed to be a bird favorite, so I ordered one too.

The birds love it. I don’t know if it’s just because it’s new, or because the bigger birds who can’t fit through my caged feeder have a new source of snacks.

Yesterday it enticed three different types of woodpeckers to spend time near our windows.

I hope you enjoyed seeing them as much as we did!

And go over and read Backyard Bird Nerd’s blog. You’ll love the variety of birds that she attracts to her yard!

I’m looking forward to spending more time with my birds, but I’ll try to get up earlier to get those feeders filled before they go on strike and demand one treat per image taken. It’s possible Katie left them a copy of her contract and I don’t want that kind of thought process to spread.
