Your bird feeder is obviously really important to so many small birds. Very impressive. I have tried bird feeders but they never seem to come. Maybe because the weather is always mild so there is food to find????? I don't know. They use the birdbaths though.Sue Catminthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14242341696447975933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265980198981273900.post-15685311078526158242009-12-15T12:44:51.457-06:002009-12-15T12:44:51.457-06:00Hi Chad and Brandy, Always glad for your visits. ...Hi Chad and Brandy, Always glad for your visits.
