As soon as I use up the bag of birdseed, I need to stop feeding them for the summer. If I still lived in a rural area, the bears would have already forced me to stop. I've had more than one birdfeeder destroyed by a bear in early April.

Hello Linda:=)
ReplyDeleteTwo gorgeous photos of the Cardinal, and Tufted titmouse. They are two of my favourite birds, seen only on other blogs like yours. I feed the birds year round, or I would never see them, now the trees have leaves.
All the best.
...they should be able to fend for themselves.
ReplyDeleteI am debating whether to stop feeding them for the summer. Usually I feed them all year. I don't have to worry about bears but raccoons can wreak their own form of havoc.
ReplyDeletePretty photos, two of my favorite yard birds. I think they will find plenty food during the summer. Take care, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteYou have a good plan in place for the birds and no bears!
ReplyDeleteDear Linda,
ReplyDeleteOops, I didn't know bears destroy birdfeeders! I also believe that the birds now find enough food in nature. Your feathered visitors are very pretty.
All the best from Austria! 🌷☘️🌷
Hugs, Traude 😘

Beautiful birds.
ReplyDeleteLinda - lovely photos! We don't get either one of these species in Montana, and I do miss them! I feed the birds year-round; we are lucky to have a way of stringing our bird feeders so that the bears cannot reach them, even if they climb the near-by trees.
ReplyDeleteYikes, I guess bears at the bird-feeder would definitely be one downside to living in such a beautiful spot. But as long as taking them down on time keeps them from my backporch I'd happily put up with it! Beautiful birds.
ReplyDeleteI've only seen one Tufted Titmouse ever!
