A few weeks ago we finally hung the bird feeder Ward gave Pete for Christmas 2004 Secret Santa. We also hung pine cones covered in peanut butter and bird seed. The first visitors were many little brown Junkos and a few chickadees. Then 3 Stellar Jays arrived. They were a comedy act to watch as they balanced their big bodies on the edge of the house. As they bent down to eat some seed they would loose their balance and nearly fall before flying away. Eventually they figured it out. The squirrel is a crazy little guy. He spent some time like this, until he figured out how to get inside the house. From then on he sat inside, carefully eating only the sunflower seeds while spitting the shells out the top flap under the dormers.
If you look carefully, you can also see the red bird hanging beside the house. Another secret santa, from Chris I think.
