The birds are already accustomed to coming into the yard. At our business in Canton we see lots of red tailed hawks which are amazing to watch.

Thanks for the reminder! We just got together last week with our little homeschool group and made bird-feeders but we don't have them up yet, it's too cold and icy to get out there now. The birds won't starve, though...they hang out with our chickens quite a bit. :) We are going to try to participate in the bird count this year, found out about it too late last year.

I'm glad Snapdragon made sure the peanut butter was edible. ;) Cindy, I look forward to participating this year, and I like that it is simple. It's easy to watch the birds for 15 minutes a day. We've never put out a hummingbird feeder, so I have no experience with that. Have you asked your neighbor what they put in their feeder? Maybe they have some kind of hummingbird ambrosia. :) Daisy,

I'll have to check that out. We put out bird seed and throw out stale bread crumbs sometimes. We have a hummingbird feeder, but even though we kept it filled for a long time, no hummingbirds ever came. I never could understand why since they come to our neighbor's feeder.

Feed the Birds (and your son, too). LOL. Aaah, if only I had thought of that great title. Feed the Birds (and your son, too). LOL.
