"I"m and indoor kitty, so I really don't understand winter.
Lynn keeps telling me there is something outside that is minus
degrees. I don't see them."
This has been our worst winter weather in a few years.
But my routine for feeding wild birds is always the same.
I have to take down the feeders in the late afternoon because
the raccoon will take the suet cages, as they taught me
a few years ago.
The deer will gum the thistle bags till they tear holes in
them, as they taught me a few years ago.
And the deer will stand on their hind legs and knock the
sunflower out of the metal feeders, as they taught me
a few years ago.
Deer only have lower teeth, like cows to browse and
chew their cuds.
The above photo is a summer photo, however this
is what Precious looks like at 6:15 AM after her
breakfast no matter the weather. She demands an
open bathroom window every morn even if she pulls
her head in with icicles on her eyelashes. I figure
some fresh air is always a good thing.
I probably have over 100 goldfinch in the yard
feeding at one time. However, I am sure as they
rotate during the day, I am feeding many more.
Also all the other colorful winter birds, with meal worms
out for the Blue Birds. And a lot of the birds are here
from Canada after flying over Lake Erie.
And at 6:30 AM I go out and put ten feeders up
for the day. And I keep water out, so that has to be replaced
every couple hours as it freezes.
Thank you for stopping by for a visit and a comment.
It is much appreciated.
