The wild birds have gone into the pre-winter feeding frenzy. Where during the summer, I rarely had to refil the seed dispensors, now the hanging feeder is filled every 3-4 days.
In addition, the leftover Birdie seed that I place in a platform feeder, used to feed squirrels and the occasional bird. Now, the squirrel don't have a chance because of frequent visits of the avian kind.
I won't cry for the squirrels just yet. I am not aiming to feed them. However, it seems that we have had a total acorn failure this year - I have seen 1 acorn in my travels, so it may be a hard winter for them and other wildlife.
At least the cardinals and blue jays have found you. Here, we aren't seeing many birds at the living room window; but, we're not putting much food out, either. (I should go break out the new shelled peanuts, now!) We had a bumper crop of acorns in our neighborhood. Too bad it's too far up there for us to share.
