Took the parent chickadees less than 2hrs to find a newly hung thistle feeder and show it to their offspring. I've let my naturally planted sunflowers grow in the feeder area so can't wait until they bloom and the goldfinches start to visit a fresh seed source.

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

my goldfinch population just doubled

as did the rose breasted grossbeaks that hatched out
but it appears that one pair has recently migrated elsewhere

the "no MELT" peanut butter suet has been a huge success
and the catbirds really love it....

plenty of cardinals still around....but i've backed off the bird feeding a bit
because of construction materials expenses ect.

During the summer months I wean them back to what they should be eating: bugs
They will keep coming to the birdfeeders because free food is free food. If you fill them less often, it will force the birds to fend for themselves, and they will start with our #1 favorite, the mosquito.

Just make sure they have water and they will stay around all season long.
