Done.
I love birds too.
Along with all the usual (but no less enjoyable) birds, here are some of the less common ones I've seen where I live: kingfisher (only once), osprey (I've watched them catch fish), roadrunners, wild parrots, a whole covey of quail (only once). Those quail were so cute. And noisy. :chuckle:
what list?

Never mind. This list.
:chuckle: You sound like my dad. Always filling feeders. And this weekend when it snows he'll be tromping through snow to get to them. I got him a sweatshirt for Christmas that has a cartoon squirrel looking up saying "your feeders are empty". You can probably relate.

Looks like the breakfast club is becoming a bird club.

That's a hoot!
I don't get many takers in the summer months but the second it gets cold outside everybody is rolling around on the ground, ribs sticking out of their "ears", and starving to death.
I watch the finches change into their winter colors and, for the same reason, I get a heads up when Spring arrives and the males don their bright yellow hues.
They're MUCH more accurate than the local weatherman.
The nuthatches will sit just out of reach and complain until I go back in the house.
The blue-jays and siskins are just little feathered mobsters.
I don't know why your dad does it but it's a labor of love for me.
My dad does it, too.

I'll bet the store shelves are clearing fast. Hope you're stocked up, and getting ready for a weekend movie or sports marathon, maybe. Take good care, kmo.
And good morning everyone.

Good morning annaB,
I grew up in the mid-west and moved to Dixieland 15 years ago. It never ceases to amaze that, when ONE snowflake falls, there ain't a lick of milk, bread or toilet-paper on any store shelf anyWHERE.
They even show pictures of the bare shelves on the news.
:shocked:
Adding fuel to the truism that forewarned is forearmed (I reckon).

Good morning theophilus.
I've seen those news photos of empty shelves before. It's good to be prepared all the time, if you're able to, you never know when the unforecasted event will happen. A few years ago, the entire county of San Diego was hit with a power outage. The scope of it was unprecedented - no working cash registers, gas pumps, ATMs... nothing. People ran out of gas on their way home from work and just abandoned their cars on the side of the road. Hours later, after the traffic jams, it was so eerie. I had my mom with me, but drove down at one point to check on her house, and the streets in a normally bustling city were almost completely deserted, and it was darkness as far as I could see, all the way to the horizon. No city lights, no traffic lights, just the occasional car passing by to break the blackness. I've never seen anything like it. That time, and the time of the Cedar Fire in 2003 were two times when it felt almost apocalyptic. And yet, it's a first world kind of apocalyptic... I think about people in other parts of the world where their entire lives are lived in times such as we only experience in brief moments.

Birds destroyed my garden one year - they ate all the shoots when they came to the surface, and decimated my tomatoes. They wouldn't just eat one tomato, they'd poke holes in almost all of them. When I tried to put netting over the seedlings, they found ways under the netting. It was a frustrating year, but I figured the birds needed the garden more than I did.
