SIGNS

For a couple of cold days I didn't see any birds feeding. Then that night there was about 1/2 inch of snowfall. The next morning I looked out at the patio and was happy to see little tracks in the snow.
My first thought was to take a few pictures. After that I brushed away the snow from each area they had been searching. I proceeded to spread black oil sunflower seeds. It wasn't more than 5 minutes after I went inside that chickadees, juncos, sparrows and a pair of white-breasted nuthatchers showed up to eat.
I do know that because I feed birds regularly, they are out there watching for me to put out some seed.

A bit of Bird Trivia...Red-Breasted and white-Breasted Nuthatch eat cantaloupe seeds.
