It’s time for a bird feeder update.
Don’t give me that look. You know you are dying to know how they are doing.
Much to my eternal surprise, the little bird house balancing on the empty flower box outside of the dining room window is still there! I’m guessing the reason it hasn’t fallen over yet is that no animals have found it yet. That’s just a guess, but it’s almost certainly an accurate one. This is how it looked at about 7:40 this morning, just before I left for work.
The news regarding the back yard bird feeder is a little more interesting. The good news is, twice this morning I saw birds visiting it. First a little bird flew up to it, landed, heard a noise (probably a fat guy in the house knocking stuff over trying to get to a camera of some sort), and took off. A few minutes later I looked out and saw a larger bird flying away. Success! The birds have discovered their free meal!
The bad news is that the squirrels have discovered the free meal too. Yesterday my beloved wife Jennifer saw a squirrel hanging upside down from the hook the bird feeder is hanging on, just munching away. Jen yelled at the little rodent bitch and scared it away, but I doubt it stayed away for very long.
I just hope that putting a bird feeder in view of our bedroom window doesn’t drive the HipstaKitty to murderous, psychotic episodes of bird watching frustration.

I’m pretty surprised that squirrels got that feeder. We’ve had ours up over a year now, and so far just birds have used it. The other feeder, though, is a whole other story — the squirrels and chipmunks empty it the same day we fill it. Amazon sells a supposedly “squirrel-proof” bird feeder but it’s pretty expensive. Sherm was supposed to build one, but you know how that goes. Anyway, I’m enjoying reading about the birds! And I loved the bunny(ies) photo!
