As I sit here at the dining room table and look out over the bird feeder while sipping my coffee ( really just sugar, creamer and a little caffeine) I watch a Downy woodpecker as it hops backwards down the tree to grab a seed. The Red Bellied woodpecker hangs upside down from the limb to take his share. The Black eyed Juncos scratch around at the base of the tree while the Nuthatches, Titmice and Chickadees dart in and out. The Cardinals form a line to patiently wait for their turn. Sure, an occasional Blue Jay bullies his way onto the feeder but generally there is a calm and orderly procedure that nature follows. So many varieties of birds all working together in natures harmony. They don’t care if Phil saw his shadow or not. They don’t care which party is in charge of the White House. All they care about is the free food.

Little do they know, the neighbors cat is behind the bushes just waiting to pounce!

He’s already brought us a bluebird and he hides in the fork of the tree behind the feeder.

I’d rather be part of their world. It makes more sense.

I like watching “my” birds at the feeder. Luckily, the squirrels have not worked out how to get the seeds.

for some reason all our squirrels have disappeared for the winter along with the groundhog, (we call him Reed’s Spring Randy) but we still have plenty of armadillos.
