I have quite a few birds around the place. they all seem to be certain individuals or a bunch of birds who are all the same pack. GF put out some grain and all the birds in the neighbourhood gorged on it until a cat caught one of them. I gave her hell about tricking the birds so the cat could catch one.

I put the feeder up because we had to "land-scrape" the backyard to get water off...probably scraped an acre of flowers and former habitats to enable the water to flow to the ditch lines. We even had to replace and regrade under the back deck. 200ft at least.

Nice little bulldozer. James, who I have known for 25 years, would not let me drive. Smart.

My wife is a Master Gardener as well and the place looked like a park in the back.

I'll keep the feeder. I love watching them fly.

This is surprising to read. Any links to support it?

Well whattaya know? There is one sliver of the relatively temperate Canadian west coast where some appear to winter.

They are more territorial than teenagers, the kings of aerobatics.

Almost time to take the feeders down around here

Does anyone else use a giant syringe to fill the feeders between cleanings?
