Suddenly our back yard is very popular! The snow has covered the usual food sources so the birds are flocking to feeders.As the snow was falling, I noticed that the seed bell was on the ground, probably because a squirrel had swung on it until it came off it's hook. I went out and placed it on a flagpole bracket.
Some birds hang on the wire bell and chip away at the seed, and they quickly devoured most of it. Other birds prefer to stand underneath and try to reach the seed. The gray and white junco just waits patiently until seed drops to where he can reach it easily.
Our other feeders attract a variety of birds too, including this bright-colored finch. I was lucky to catch him looking my way!
adorable winter birds!
