I have a new perch. When Drew gets home I'll make him take a picture of me sitting at it (try to contain your excitement) But, currently I'm watching 2 blue jays eating seed on a stump in my yard. They look as though they are discussing gun control over brunch, just like every other American today. I kid, but they do look very serious.
My new seat of choice is in the kitchen where I can enjoy my newfound hobby: bird-watching. Remember my bird-feeder purchase a while back? Well I promised an update and today is that day, get ready people.
While I started only modestly with a single feeder, the plethora of birds living in a brush pile across my yard quickly informed me that it simply wasn't enough. Thus:
Disclaimer: I don't own a camera, ergo bird pictures from my phone.
A bell:
Seed on the shelf:
Seed on a stump:
And my newest venture:
Bird Seed on toilet paper rolls!!!
Which also allows for some sibling antics before use:
And please don't be like my negative Nancy husband and say: "What happens when they get wet?" Because my answer is I don't know, but it's probably soggy and gross.
I'm also studying up:
I realize I'm not in Tennessee but this was a free book from mother dearest so I'm becoming an expert on lesser yellowlegs and dickcissels both real birds in my new bird book. And I also know the names of all of the fowl I posted pictures of, ask me anything.
I'm aware that this may not be exciting to many of you, but I also know many of you will soon be snowed in and may be hard up for reading material so my bird blog may seem a little more exciting in the midst of your cabin fever tonight.
I'm off to wait on the snow and take unclear pictures of my birds in said snow. Keep warm everyone!
