Spring is finally here!
The wife and I took a trip to Kmart. She picked up yet another bird feeder. That makes 7 feeders now. I wanted to see if we could entice some birds we don’t normally observe, so I developed a mix I thought might work for the new feeder. Sunday it rained in the afternoon so we couldn't do any yard work. We spent awhile watching the birds. We were inundated with Goldfinches that have been notably absent the last couple of years. And two really cool other birds showed up on Sunday. We talked about how we've only seen a Baltimore (Northern) Oriole once in 16 years here. And later one showed up. Another bird we’ve never seen also made an appearance at the feeder, an Indigo Bunting.
