Our oldest son was so kind as to send me a window bird feeder for my birthday! I am so thrilled to report that we had our first visitors (that we saw...!!) last night and several more today.
It is hard to see the bird feeder on the window because it is under the porch roof. It was the only window in the house that I could actually service myself, even though Dear One was perfectly happy to take care of it wherever we put it. I wanted to be able to do it myself.
Due to an obvious potential problem, I got some floral oilcloth, some paracord, and a couple of snap closures so I could attach the oil cloth over the wicker couch which we don't actually use most of the year. I poked some holes in the corners and attached some grommets to the top and some eyelets to the bottom. Worked like a charm. When we want to sit down we can just unsnap the back of the oilcloth and remove it.
We saw a red-winged blackbird and some other unknown brand of bird--reddish orange. I will sit at the window, well, at the dining room table so as not to scare the birds, and watch until I figure out what that bird it.
This makes me so happy! Thanks so much for this wonderful gift! And the seed to go in it!!!
