Title: Back yard birding
Post by: Reg on December 29, 2012, 07:46:24 PM
I've been stuck at home recovering from Knee surgery lately, but my back yard has been keeping
me entertained. The Redpolls have been coming everyday to the feeders,along with the regulars.

What do you have in those nice looking feeders?  Lots of activity. They look quite squirrel proof?

No need to be sorry, I love the Waxwings as well, they are very pretty birds.

Feeders are filled with Nijer seed,the small birds love it, Finches, Redpolls, Juncos Ect. and the holes are too small for squirrels

Being stuck at home is not always a bad thing. Looks like you're busy.
