bird watching

It took a few weeks for the birds to find our bird feeders, but once they did it didn't take them long to eat up all the bird seed. We get gold finches and house finches and sparrows and wood peckers, chickadees, and occasionally a blue jay. It is so much fun for the kids to see who has come to visit that day.

The boys get to practice some sharing.
